Layer 8 Security created a proprietary methodology to guide its Healthcare clients to HITRUST Certification.
Each HITRUST CSF Certified organization is required to adhere to a minimum baseline of controls. These required controls can be scaled to appropriately fit your organization’s type, size, and complexity, and have formal classification in the HITRUST CSF. You can also include GDPR, HIPAA, NIST, SOC 2, and others as part of the certification.
Rather than performing individual assessments and audits for each standard and for each provider, supplier, or customer to verify compliance, you could instead undergo a single HITRUST CSF assessment that includes those requirements.
The HITRUST CSF simplifies this ordinarily lengthy process by utilizing an ‘assess once, report many’ approach.
After receiving the certification, you can potentially address your compliance framework and standards requirements in one fell swoop. This is especially helpful for organizations that must adhere to multiple compliance frameworks and are required to respond to multiple security questionnaires.
Lastly, HITRUST certified organizations are threat adaptive, as the controls relevant to their certification are constantly revised to incorporate new best-of-class security recommendations and updates to compliance regulations.
