HITRUST Shared Responsibility

HITRUST certification by the HITRUST Alliance enables healthcare organizations to demonstrate compliance to HIPAA requirements based on a standardized framework. When working with Project Hosts, applications, data and workloads inherit HITRUST compliance when migrated into our Turnkey HITRUST Certified Cloud. Our cloud environment is pre-audited and pre-approved by the HITRUST Aliiance, and endorsed by the HITRUST Service Provider Shared Responsibility Working Group, giving you options for compliance. As an organization seeking a HITRUST Certification, you can either:

  1. Do it yourself – Build a cloud deployment that includes the following security control families:
    •  Logging, Intrusion and Incident Response
    •  Backup, DR, Contingency Planning
    •  Vulnerability Scanning, Patching, Change Contro, POA&M
    •  Authentication and Access Control
    You will then have to schedule an audit and certify directly through the HITRUST Alliance.
  2. Work with Project Hosts – Migrate into our pre-audited Turnkey HITRUST Certified cloud environment on Microsoft Azure and inherit compliance.

Project Hosts, along with Microsoft and the HITRUST Alliance’s Service Provider Shared Responsibilty Working Group have simplified HITRUST compliance for Healthcare organizations seeking a higher, more stringent IT security standard. This is why healthcare organizations have adopted this security and privacy framework and are opting to work with our team at Project Hosts.
