HITRUST ยท Advisory Service Components

From gap analysis through certification, we own the compliance burden so you can operate your business

HITRUST offers multiple assessment types. Choosing the wrong one is an expensive mistake. We guide you to the right certification for your market. Whether you need the speed of the Essentials (e1) or the rigor of the Risk-based (r2), we build the entire package. From scoping to MyCSF evidence population, we own the process so you can own the result.

  • Gap Assessment Before you commit to a certification tier, you need clarity on where you stand and what tier your customers actually require. We evaluate your current security posture against HITRUST requirements, analyze your customer and partner expectations, and recommend the assessment type (e1, i1, or r2) that achieves your objectives efficiently. Deliverable: A roadmap that sequences work, identifies inheritance opportunities, and projects realistic certification timelines.
  • HITRUST Advisory The core engagement. We develop your complete HITRUST package including policies, procedures, and control implementation statements mapped to your target assessment scope. For r2 assessments, we tailor documentation to your specific risk factors and regulatory requirements. For i1 assessments, we address the 182 fixed requirement statements with implementation evidence. Documentation reflects how your systems actually operate, not how auditors imagined they might.
  • Inheritance Strategy Development Your cloud providers hold HITRUST certifications that can reduce your assessment scope by 70-85%. We map your infrastructure against the Shared Responsibility Matrix, identify inheritable controls, and structure your MyCSF submission to maximize what you can claim from participating providers. Less scope means less cost, faster timelines, and focused effort on controls that require your direct implementation.
  • MyCSF Package Dev & Assembly HITRUST assessments run through the MyCSF platform with specific formatting, scoring rubrics, and evidence requirements. We structure all deliverables for direct MyCSF integration. Control statements align with requirement structures. Evidence artifacts map to specific controls. Inheritance requests are formatted for provider approval.
  • Bastion: Assessment Support We remain engaged through the validated assessment process. Evidence coordination. Interview preparation. Finding response. Assessor communication. For r2 certifications requiring interim assessment at year one, we provide ongoing support to maintain certification status. The engagement continues until HITRUST issues your certification letter.

Every control is pre-scored by our team. Every piece of evidence is vetted. We do not submit a Validated Assessment until we know it will pass. You enter the audit phase with confidence, knowing the math works in your favor.
