Which assessment fits?

Our HITRUST self-assessment helps you gauge readiness and which assessment level to aim for.

Start the self-assessment

The assessments

Three levels of assurance

e1

Essentials. A one-year assessment of foundational cybersecurity practices. A practical first step.

i1

Implemented. A one-year assessment of leading security practices for moderate-risk organizations.

r2

Risk-based. A two-year, tailored assessment for the highest assurance requirements.

We handle readiness. Your assessment is performed by a HITRUST authorized external assessor and reviewed by HITRUST.

FAQ

Common questions

Which assessment should we start with?

Start with what your customers require. If they haven’t specified, e1 or i1 is usually a sensible first step.

How long is a certification valid?

e1 and i1 certifications last one year. r2 certifications last two years, with an interim assessment in between.

Can you perform the assessment?

We focus on readiness. The assessment itself is performed by a HITRUST authorized external assessor.

Does HITRUST cover HIPAA?

HITRUST maps to HIPAA and many other frameworks, which is why healthcare customers use it as proof of security.
