The healthcare industry collects and stores a vast amount of patients’ data. As a result, it is more prone to cyberattacks and becomes the primary target of security breaches and data theft. As per the HIMSS Survey, around 81% of US hospitals and healthcare systems and 83% of payers are adopting the HITRUST information security framework to win clients’ and vendors’ trust. Moreover, the certification is necessary for third-party vendors in the healthcare sector.
HITRUST Certification is a significant tool for companies in the healthcare sector to demonstrate their commitment to information security and become successful. The certification provides an organisation with a proactive approach to expanding its consumer base and helps it retain existing customers. However, the HITRUST Alliance introduced the Common Security Framework (CSF) to empower healthcare systems and enable them to adopt appropriate cybersecurity defence mechanisms to safeguard users’, clients’, and stakeholders’ data.
