HITRUST Assessment Handbook - Exposure Draft

The Assessment Handbook defines the requirements for organizations assessing their information protection programs against the HITRUST CSF through a readiness or validated assessment. The assessment handbook is intended to provide guidance and expectations of the assessment process to the HITRUST community.

HITRUST has published an exposure draft of the Assessment Handbook and invites all stakeholders to review and submit feedback by July 7, 2023.

The Assessment Handbook is not yet final and will not be enforced during the exposure draft review period. HITRUST will continue to enforce the existing guidance published within the HITRUST website (www.hitrustalliance.net).

  4. Opportunity to better define what is truly considered a "separate organization" within this statement - "The External Assessor used for a validated assessment must be a separate organization from the Assessed Entity." (e.g., alternative language: "separate legal entity").
    Example, if a PE firm holds a stake in an assessor firm and an assessed entity, under the org structure could the assessor perform the assessment given they are a separate and distinct entity, but are owned by the same investment complex?

  5. 3.2 -Certified CSF Practitioner (CCSFP) is a designation reserved for individuals who have completed the CCSFP training course, passed the certification exam, and have met the required background and experience requirements necessary to effectively use the HITRUST CSF. Such individuals typically work for a HITRUST External Assessor organization, a HITRUST Assessed Entity, or a HITRUST licensed firm/practice that provides HITRUST consulting services. Do we screen for "required background and experience requirements" before allowing people to sign up for CCSFP class? If so, what background requirements are we screening for?
