What is HITRUST CSF?

Since HIPAA is more risk-based as opposed to a prescriptive set of security controls the Health Information Trust Alliance collaborated with health care and information security leaders to develop the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF).

The HITRUST CSF provides an actionable and scalable framework around HIPAA guidelines that organizations can follow to when managing compliance for their ePHI and PHI data.

Armor solutions are certified against HITRUST CSF and pass that status on the data workloads and applications they protect.
