A HITRUST certification is how healthcare technology companies prove their security program meets a standard that enterprise buyers, health systems, and insurers recognize.
The CSF pulls requirements from HIPAA, NIST, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and other major standards into one unified control set. Certification is earned by completing an assessment against those controls, and the level of certification you pursue determines how much assurance your report actually provides to the buyer requesting it.
For most B2B SaaS companies entering the healthcare market, HITRUST certification is what moves a deal out of security review and into procurement.

Timeline depends on your organization's size, current control maturity, and which assessment type you're pursuing. Self-assessments for smaller organizations typically run anywhere from a few months to six months. After an initial scoping conversation, we'll give you a realistic estimate specific to your situation, not a number pulled from a brochure.
No. A lot of the controls and documentation you built for SOC 2, like access management, encryption, and incident response, map directly to HITRUST CSF requirements. During the gap analysis phase, we inventory what you already have and build from there. You won't be asked to redo work that's already done well.
The CSF covers over 200 control requirements across 19 domains, things like access control, audit logging, configuration management, risk management, and third-party security. Which controls apply to your organization depends on your scope. We help you understand exactly which ones are in play and what evidence you'll need for each.
Usually a mix of security, engineering, and sometimes legal or compliance roles depending on your size. If your security function is one person wearing multiple hats, we've worked with that before and we'll structure the engagement around your team's actual bandwidth.
You receive a scored report showing your performance across CSF domains. This can be shared with customers, partners, or enterprise procurement teams as evidence of your security maturity. Depending on your score and what your buyers require, the next step may be a validated assessment or ongoing monitoring against your established baseline.
No. Our team operates across time zones and has worked with companies based in Europe, South Africa, and elsewhere. If you're a non-US company selling into the US healthcare market, HITRUST is still relevant and we can support that engagement wherever you're located.
