The Accorian Advantage
Why does your company need a HITRUST® Assessment?
The healthcare industry is being targeted by hackers because Electronic Health Records (EHR) are very valuable on the black market. Over 1.6 million people had their information stolen and the estimated cost of these data breaches have cost the healthcare sector more than $6.2 billion dollars. Understandably, patients and Healthcare and HealthTech companies are increasingly anxious about the security of their health data.
HITRUST CSF was designed to help organizations that work with sensitive healthcare data become more secure. The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) safeguards electronic protected health information (ePHI) and helps organizations streamline their security and compliance requirements. It also provides standards and auditable controls that include compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, PCI, ISO, and NIST.
As a HealthTech business, we were concerned that the HITRUST process would be expensive and lengthy. We chose ESHA IT because they were affordable and simplified the process in a way that me and my staff could understand.
