As the cyber landscape continues to evolve, so does the need for more robust protection of electronic personal health information (ePHI). Healthcare providers relying more and more on evolving technologies to store and transmit their data are demanding more evident compliance from their vendors. The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) is a comprehensive and certifiable security framework used by healthcare organizations and their business associates to efficiently approach regulatory compliance and risk management. The HITRUST CSF is the most widely-adopted security framework in the U.S. healthcare industry and combines highly-recognized standards and regulatory requirements such as NIST, HIPAA, ISO, FTC, COBIT, and PCI to tailor compliance based on the type, size and complexity of an organization. In addition, it can be completed in conjunction with a SOC 2 audit.
