Latitude is a Licensed HITRUST External Assessor.
There are three HITRUST assessments. HITRUST (e1) Essentials is the most basic. HITRUST (i1) Implemented provides moderate assurance, and the HITRUST (r2) Risk-Based, 2-year is the most comprehensive. Each assessment is different based on your scoping factors.
Scoping is the process of determining which factors to include in your HITRUST assessment. These factors include systems that store, transmit, or process data, records accessible to outside organizations, and the number of records stored, processed, or maintained by your organization, among others.
A HITRUST Readiness Assessment helps organizations efficiently prepare for HITRUST certification. The assessment helps clarify what companies need in order to gain compliance. Readiness Assessments can ultimately streamline the HITRUST certification process and save countless hours of your resources’ time.
It depends on the level of certification. HITRUST e1 and i1 certifications each renew on an annual basis. HITRUST r2 assessments are good for two years, with an interim evaluation taking place at the one-year mark.
Certification times vary based on scoping factors, assessment level, and implemented cybersecurity practices. As such, HITRUST certification can take anywhere from a few months to over a year. As a Readiness Assessor, Latitude helps streamline the process.
While HITRUST and ISO 27001 are frameworks, HITRUST was initially designed exclusively for the healthcare industry, whereas ISO is an international framework that is not focused on healthcare. In addition, HITRUST is an assessment, whereas ISO is an audit.
