HITRUST ยท Inheritance Engineering

Certify what you own. Inherit what you do not.

Major cloud providers hold HITRUST certifications covering infrastructure controls you consume but do not operate. Physical security. Environmental controls. Hypervisor management. Network backbone security. These controls can transfer to your assessment through HITRUST's Shared Responsibility and Inheritance Program. Most organizations claim only a fraction of available inheritance. We maximize it.

  • Provider Mapping We analyze your infrastructure against cloud provider HITRUST Shared Responsibility Matrices. Every inheritable control is identified. Every inheritance request is configured in MyCSF. Organizations can inherit 70-85% of requirements from participating providers. That reduction in scope translates directly to reduced cost and accelerated timelines.
  • Stack Analysis Inheritance extends beyond cloud providers. Your identity provider may hold certification. Your HR platform. Your ticketing system. Your SaaS vendors. We inventory your technology stack and aggregate inheritance credit from every certified component.
  • Architecture for Inheritance Strategic architectural decisions shift control responsibility. Managed database services transfer encryption management to the provider. Container orchestration platforms transfer host security. Load balancer services transfer network controls. We evaluate architectural options that maximize provider responsibility without compromising your requirements.

Efficient certification uses leverage. Cloud providers invested billions in compliance infrastructure. We ensure you receive credit for their investment and focus effort only on controls that are genuinely yours.
