HITRUST Compliance

We specialize in delivering comprehensive HITRUST (Health Information Trust Alliance) compliance services, meticulously designed to help organizations achieve and maintain the highest standards of information security and regulatory compliance. In today's complex and evolving healthcare and related industries, where data protection is paramount and trust is essential, HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework) certification is increasingly recognized as the gold standard for demonstrating a robust security and privacy posture. Our HITRUST services go far beyond typical advisory, offering a unique blend of strategic expertise, adaptive methodologies, and a steadfast commitment to genuinely enhancing your organization's security maturity and assurance, setting us apart from conventional market offerings.

Our Comprehensive HITRUST Compliance Service Offerings:

We provide a full spectrum of HITRUST services tailored to guide your organization through every stage of the certification journey, regardless of its size, complexity, or industry sector:

HITRUST Readiness Assessment: We conduct an in-depth evaluation of your current security and privacy controls against the HITRUST CSF requirements. This service identifies existing gaps, potential challenges, and provides a clear roadmap for achieving certification.

HITRUST Implementation Support: Our experts work hand-in-hand with your teams to implement the necessary controls and processes required by the HITRUST CSF. This includes policy and procedure development, technical control configuration, and operationalizing security practices.

Remediation and Corrective Action Plan (CAP) Development: Based on readiness assessment findings or validated assessment gaps, we help you develop comprehensive and actionable CAPs, prioritizing remediation efforts to efficiently close control deficiencies.

HITRUST Assessment Support (Validated Assessments & Interim Assessments): We provide full support throughout the formal HITRUST validated assessment process, liaising with your External Assessor Firm (EAF), facilitating evidence collection, and ensuring proper documentation for successful validation. We also assist with interim assessments for ongoing compliance.

Continuous HITRUST Compliance & Monitoring: Achieving HITRUST certification is a significant milestone, but maintaining it requires ongoing vigilance. We offer continuous support, regular reviews, and monitoring services to help your organization adapt to evolving threats and regulatory changes, ensuring sustained adherence to the CSF.

Scoped Assessments: For organizations needing a more focused review, we can assist with scoped assessments targeting specific systems, applications, or departments to address particular assurance needs.

What Makes Our HITRUST Services Unique?

While many firms offer HITRUST support, our approach is fundamentally different, yielding superior outcomes and long-term value for our clients:

"HITRUST Navigator" Approach – From Strategy to Sustainment: We don't just guide you through the assessment; we act as your comprehensive "HITRUST Navigator," providing end-to-end support that starts with strategic alignment and extends to long-term sustainment. Unlike competitors who might focus solely on the assessment phase, we ensure your HITRUST journey becomes an integrated part of your overall risk management and security strategy.

Risk-Based Optimization, Not Over-Engineering: Our methodology prioritizes controls based on your organization's unique risk profile and the specific data you handle. We avoid the common pitfall of "over-engineering" security controls, which can lead to unnecessary costs and operational friction. Instead, we focus on implementing the right controls, in the right way, for your specific environment, ensuring optimal security efficacy and resource utilization.

Operational Integration & Culture Building: We understand that effective security is embedded, not bolted on. Our consultants work intimately with your operational teams to integrate HITRUST controls seamlessly into existing workflows and business processes. This collaborative approach fosters a security-aware culture throughout your organization, ensuring that policies are understood and practiced, making compliance a natural part of daily operations rather than a separate, burdensome task.

Proprietary Remediation Accelerators & Tools: Leveraging years of experience, we have developed proprietary templates, tools, and best practice accelerators that significantly streamline the documentation, evidence collection, and remediation processes. This reduces the time and effort required from your internal teams, making your HITRUST journey more efficient and cost-effective than with firms relying on generic approaches.

Focus on Security Maturity, Beyond Compliance: While certification is the goal, our ultimate objective is to genuinely elevate your organization's overall cybersecurity maturity. We provide insights and recommendations that extend beyond the immediate certification requirements, helping you build a more robust, adaptable, and resilient security posture that can withstand future threats and regulatory shifts. We turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

By partnering with Skyden for your HITRUST certification journey, you are choosing a strategic ally dedicated to transforming a complex compliance challenge into a demonstrable competitive advantage, fortifying your security posture, and building unparalleled trust with your stakeholders.
