HITRUSTWhat is HITRUST?
Comprehensive security framework that harmonizes requirements from HIPAA, NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and other standards. Provides a certifiable framework for healthcare and other regulated industries.
Who it applies to
Healthcare organisations and their vendors, especially in the US, where health plans and large providers often require it in preference to a HIPAA self-attestation.
How the standard is organised
A framework that harmonises requirements drawn from other standards and regulations into one control set, with assessment types of differing depth and duration.
Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Readiness Platform helps you track and prepare for. The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.
HITRUST on the Bitkosh platform
The 49 HITRUST controls sit in one workspace with gap assessment, evidence collection and your readiness score, and shared controls count towards the equivalent requirement in the other 47 ready frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
How the platform worksSample controls
Six controls from the platform's control library, chosen because they are the most specific to this framework.
- 01.bManagement Direction for Information Security
Show leadership is actually steering security priorities to match what the business needs, not just rubber-stamping a policy annually.
Information Protection Program - 02.bEndpoint Device Hardening
Lock down the default configuration of every server, workstation, and mobile device you operate to shrink its attack surface.
Endpoint Protection - 19.eDe-identification and Anonymization
Strip or mask identifying details from data where you can, so exposure doesn't automatically mean a privacy breach.
Data Protection & Privacy - 16.bBCP Testing and Exercising
Actually run drills against your continuity plan on a schedule, and update the plan based on what the drills reveal.
Business Continuity - 18.aPhysical Security Perimeter
Draw a clear physical boundary -- badges, walls, whatever's appropriate -- around spaces that hold sensitive information.
Physical & Environmental Security - 03.aRemovable Media Policy
Control USB drives and other removable media according to how sensitive the data on them is, with sign-off required before use.
Portable Media Security
