HITRUST
HITRUST is a widely adopted security and risk management framework designed to help organizations protect sensitive data, especially in healthcare environments. It combines requirements from multiple standards and regulations—such as HIPAA, NIST, and ISO—into a single, prescriptive framework. HITRUST provides a structured approach to managing risk through validated controls and formal assessments. The framework is governed by the HITRUST Alliance and is trusted across industries for demonstrating strong security and compliance maturity.
