The right level, not the biggest one
e1, i1, or r2 — we scope to what your deal actually requires. Certifying past the requirement burns quarters; under it burns the deal.
Services HITRUST
HITRUST Certification
The certification healthcare enterprises actually ask for.
We map your existing SOC 2, ISO, and HIPAA work into the HITRUST CSF, manage readiness, and streamline certification — reducing time to completion by up to 40 percent.

What is HITRUST?
HITRUST CSF is a certifiable security framework that harmonizes HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and other standards into one assessment. Large healthcare organizations — payers and hospital systems — often require HITRUST certification from vendors that handle health data. It comes in three levels: e1 (essentials), i1 (implemented, 1-year), and r2 (risk-based, 2-year, the most rigorous).
What you get
Your existing work, inherited
SOC 2, ISO, and HIPAA controls map into the CSF instead of being rebuilt. This mapping is where the up-to-40% time savings comes from.
Readiness and assessor management
We run the readiness assessment, fix the gaps, and manage the external assessor end to end — including the back-and-forth most teams underestimate.
MyCSF, handled
HITRUST's portal, scoring model, and evidence requirements have their own learning curve. We've climbed it; you don't have to.
How it works
- 1
Scope
Free scoping estimate, then ~1 week.We identify the level your deals actually require, map your existing controls into the CSF, and hand you a plan with timeline and price.
- 2
Ready
Sized to your gaps.Gap remediation, evidence preparation, and a readiness assessment that mirrors what the external assessor will do — so nothing in the real assessment is a surprise.
- 3
Certify
External assessment + HITRUST QA.We manage the assessor, the evidence submissions, and HITRUST's QA process until the certification is in your hands and in your sales deck.
HITRUST Certification questions, answered
What's the difference between HITRUST e1, i1, and r2?
e1 covers essential cybersecurity hygiene and is the fastest path. i1 is a broader implemented-controls certification renewed annually. r2 is the risk-based flagship — the most rigorous and the one large payers most often mean when they say 'HITRUST certified.' We scope which one your pipeline actually requires before you commit to any of them.
We already have SOC 2. Does that help?
Significantly. The CSF harmonizes SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and NIST controls, so evidence and controls you already maintain map directly in. That reuse is how we cut time to completion by up to 40 percent.
Does HITRUST cover HIPAA?
HIPAA itself has no certificate, and HITRUST doesn't change that — but an r2 or i1 certification is the strongest third-party evidence of HIPAA alignment a vendor can offer, which is why payers and hospital systems ask for it.
How long does HITRUST certification take?
It depends on the level and how much of your existing control set maps in — that's exactly what the free scoping estimate tells you. Whatever the baseline, our mapping-first approach reduces time to completion by up to 40 percent versus starting from scratch.
What does it cost?
Our work bills in 15-minute increments with an optional monthly cap. HITRUST's own fees and the external assessor are separate line items — we scope all three up front so the total is known before you start.
The payer's procurement team said the word. Now it's a scoping problem — and scoping is free.
