The HITRUST CSF is a flexible security framework that effectively and consistently simplifies the main processes of the compliance cycle—scoping, information collection, evaluation, reporting—while offering demonstrable efficiency and cost-containment.
HITRUST certification offers assurance to organizations and their partners and clients of the thoroughness, accuracy, consistency, and repeatability of their risk and compliance assessment activities. Only pre-qualified, HITRUST-certified professional service firms are authorized to assist in HITRUST validation and certification. Initially developed for use in the healthcare industry, the HITRUST CSF is now industry-agnostic and open for any organization to seek certification.
The MyCSF tool, available through HITRUST, makes it easier and more cost-effective for an organization to manage its information risk and comply with international, federal and state regulations regarding privacy and security. This tool provides organizations of all sizes with a secure, web-based solultion for performing risk assessments, corrective action plan management, and benchmarking.
The HITRUST Self-Assessment process enables an organization to establish a baseline of the current state of their policies, processes and controls – all of which are formally documented. ecfirst can assist your organization every step of the way as you go through this process and address HITRUST requirements. The Self-Assessment provides the foundation to identify key enhancements required to improve the organization’s security and overall compliance profile.
A validated assessment is conducted by ecfirst, a HITRUST Certified CSF Assessor. HITRUST utilizes the CSF Assurance methodology and the controls are scored accordingly. Assessments meeting or exceeding the current CSF Assurance scoring requirements for certification is indicated as CSF Certified on the validated report.
ecfirst is well-poised to support your efforts throughout the entire assessment process.
Learn about the HITRUST CSF from the compliance and cybersecurity experts at ecfirst. Schedule a complimentary Executive Brief (webinar) to walkthrough key elements of the HITRUST CSF. Understand the process for conducting a HITRUST self-assessment, learn about HITRUST validation, and the certification process. Knowledge transfer is at the core of all ecfirst client engagements. The journey to address the comprehensive HITRUST requirements can be challenging. We look forward to establishing ecfirst as your trusted partner within your enterprise.

“Provant Health partnered with ecfirst to build a plan and assist in executing it with the goal of achieving HITRUST certification.”
“Ali Pabrai and his team were flexible, collaborative, and most importantly patient as we worked to educate our management team and key employees on the meaning and value of HITRUST. Due to many internal corporate changes, the first phase of the project took much longer than planned but ecfirst stayed with us the whole way. They pushed our team when needed but also stepped back and gave us room at times.”
“I’d recommend ecfirst to any company who wants to understand HITRUST or work on assessing and remediating their processes and systems in preparation for certification.”
