HITRUST CSF
Health Information Trust Alliance Framework
What is HITRUST CSF?
HITRUST CSF is a certifiable framework that harmonizes over 40 authoritative sources (including HIPAA, NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS) into a single comprehensive security and privacy framework. HITRUST offers three assessment tiers — e1 (Essentials, ~44 controls, 1-year), i1 (Implemented, ~182 controls, 1-year), and r2 (Risk-based, 300–2,000+ tailored controls, 2-year) — allowing organizations to progressively demonstrate cybersecurity maturity aligned to their risk profile.
