About HITRUST

The Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) is a non-profit organization that offers data protection standards and certification programs to help organizations safeguard sensitive information, manage information risk, and achieve compliance goals. Unlike other frameworks, HITRUST harmonizes multiple authoritative sources like HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, and ISO 27001. It’s the only organization with a framework, assessment platform, and assurance program, driving wide adoption.

HITRUST Certification involves the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF), providing an objective way to manage security risks, especially for healthcare information. Certified assessors produce reports to enhance maturity levels. The latest CSF version integrates 44 security-related sources, offering scalable and privacy controls.

While initially healthcare-focused, HITRUST’s framework applies to all industries. Compliance ensures security and reduces complexity, risk, and costs. Certification verifies security programs align with HITRUST standards. Univate, with 20+ HIPAA implementations, guides organizations through implementation and audit reporting processes, ensuring seamless outcomes.

Examples include healthcare providers, health tech startups, financial services, tech companies, cloud service providers, retail, consulting firms, legal practices, government agencies, educational institutions, manufacturing, and non-profit organizations. HITRUST ensures robust data security, privacy, and trust across industries.
