Health Information Trust Alliance – HITRUST – Compliance
HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework) and HIPAA-mandated Protocols provide an adaptable, all-encompassing, and certified solution to corporate risk management.
HITRUST Common Security Framework enables users to access , store, and manage sensitive healthcare data (CSF)
Healthcare organizations are the nexus of sensitive consumer data, since they house databases containing the private information of millions of people who are of crucial importance. It goes without saying that such databases attract the world’s most powerful cybercriminals and their attack tactics. Therefore, healthcare businesses must develop a superior cybersecurity architecture with good governance, advanced technology, and proactive risk management. This necessitates the implementation of necessary regulations; dataflows connected to their core medical systems, electronic health records, consumer service portals, and integrated environments (Lab data, etc.) must be compliant with the best standards and security protocols, as defined by HIPAA Compliance, which is both expansive and loosely constrained.
