As the world continues to become more technologically interconnected, a wide range of businesses find themselves in possession of and required to safeguard, sensitive data that could be used to identify or contact their members, patients and customers (i.e. PHI or PII). Handling this protected data creates a variety of compliance requirements across jurisdictions and is a major target of cyberattacks. Having robust controls, policies and cybersecurity measures in place is critical to reduce risk, achieve compliance and ensure the safety of your business.
Originally based on ISO 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the HITRUST CSF has expanded to address compliance with HIPAA and other federal, state and international regulations, streamlining the overall process. Its importance has spread across industries, particularly for those who collect and safeguard private data, like hospitality, e-commerce, and financial services companies.
HITRUST has data protection, information risk, and compliance programs — all in one approach, the HITRUST Approach.
Our team is highly skilled with HITRUST, both in a healthcare setting and across a range of other industries. Mazars can help your organization gain peace of mind around your data integrity as well as assuring that your vendors are fully mitigating the risks to your data.
Mazars unique offerings can support multiple Certifications with one assessment:
The Importance of integrating HITRUST into your risk and information management program:
Why should your organization be HITRUST certified?
The more the organization emphasizes and adopts a culture of operational compliance, the more likely it will avoid the costs of fines, sanctions, or reputational loss. Early compliance can also serve as a potential growth opportunity and a competitive advantage. Mazars’ team of experts can help clients prepare for the regulatory environment beholden to that industry.
Third-party providers can help your organization and offer opportunities, but they also introduce risks that need to be managed and addressed. Mazars can help protect your organization by monitoring and addressing risks through different procedures such as a TPRM program.
A SOC report can build an environment of trust with service organizations' clients, vendors, and internal and external stakeholders by ensuring the data is processed completely, accurately and safely. Mazars’ team of experts can deliver high-quality SOC examinations for your organization.

Health information network (HIN) interconnectivity is far from perfect. Although almost 95% of hospitals and 90% of office-based physicians belong to HINs, connectivity between HINs still isn’t universal, or even consistent. Varying participation rates and different data-usage agreements prevent the current version of the electronic health record from being as essential as it should be.
A data breach for healthcare organizations is very likely.
Cyberattacks on healthcare organizations, especially health systems, are increasing dramatically.
