What are the 5 phases of reaching HITRUST implementation?
- Phase I – Understanding Business context, and scope of systems This is generally starts with having sessions with management or their key leadership teams to determine why HITRUST is needed, and where is ePHI. This results in determining scope of compliance.
- Phase II – Gap Analysis/Risk Assessment We have a 4 layer risk assessment using which we determine the degree 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 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.

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 choosing beyond HIPAA, and wish to get certified on additional CSF such as SOC 2 or one of the applicable legislations, there can be additional requirements.
What does the toolkit cover?
- Policy – a document that shows organisation intent to comply to a requirement of the standard
- Procedures – a document that defines how an organisation can accomplish a task in a step by step method.
- Measurement – How an organisation can measure the performance of the documented procedure
- Templates – Based the policy/procedure/measurement requirement, we provide a ready to use template that ranges from word, excel, power point presentations – that helps an organisation achieve their own HITRUST goals.
