What are the 5 phases of reaching HITRUST implementation?

Phase I – Understanding Business context, and scope of systems

This is generally starts with having sssions with management or their key leadrship teams to determine why HITRUST is needed, and where is ePHI. This results in determnining scope of compliance.

Phase II – Gap Analysis/Risk Assessment

We have a 4 layer risk assessment using which we determine the degre of current controls implemented. Gaps identified are treated through the subsequent phases of the project journey.

Phase III – Strategy/Policy/Procedure Documentation

In this phase we discuss and develop stategies, policies and procedures. This phase takes generally a longer time that others as the represntatives have to review and approve, and sometimes requires changes in the way they perform a certain process.

Phase IV – Monitoring and Measurement

In order for an organistaion to reach level 4 and level 5 an ongoing measuyrement process needs to be in place.
Based on the organisation requirement and agreement, we perform the masurement and provide a scoring against controls.
This gives the management an objctice view of HITRUST implementation.

Phase IV – External HITRUST support

We support your external audit jouney threeby ensuring that you acheiev succssful certtification.

What is HITURST Maturity?

With HITRUST report you get a score of 1 to 5 depending on the followings:

Policy – this is achieved when you have a documented policy in line with HITRUST requirement
Procedure – This is when you describe how you achieve the policy objectives. This involves documenting people, process and technology references.
Implementation – This is when you provide the evidence of the implementation in line with policy and procedure.
Measured – This is when you ‘quantitatively’ demonstrate the effectiveness of a control is in place. This can be a minimum period of say 3 months, which provide a reasonable assurance of control measurement.
Managed – This is when you show how identify risks, deviations, opportunities for improvements, and track till closure.
If you are chosing beyond HIPAA, and wish to get certified on additional CSF such as SOC 2 or one of the paplicable legislations, there can be additial requirements.
