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 measurement process needs to be in place.
Based on the organisation requirement and agreement, we perform the measurement and provide a scoring against controls.
This gives the management an objective view of HITRUST® implementation.

Phase V – External HITRUST® support

We support your external audit journey thereby ensuring that you achieve successful certification.
