About this Framework

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) is a comprehensive, certifiable security and privacy framework tailored for healthcare, incorporating requirements from HIPAA, NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and state regulations into a single integrated framework. HITRUST r2 Validated Assessment is increasingly required by healthcare payers, hospitals and business associates as evidence of HIPAA compliance, often replacing multiple separate customer security questionnaires and audits across the healthcare supply chain.
