HiTrust CSF

HITRUST CSF stemmed from the concept of a common security framework, which is an ideal tool with regulatory compliance for handling management of information security and its risks. What’s more, it consolidates the standards arising from the commonly implemented frameworks, such as HIPAA, NIST, ISO and PCI-DSS, which lets organizations mitigate the issues connected with the need to implement many regulations and frameworks at once. 

HITRUST CSF is very flexible – this is because they can be easily scaled depending on the size, type of data, and risk profile of an organization in question. Due to this flexibility, the extraction of information from this type of software makes it suitable for a broad range of industries other than healthcare such as finance, technology, and government.
