The challenge
What was at stake.
An academic hospital system needed a HITRUST r2 certification to keep research partnerships and payer contracts. Six hospitals had grown up with different tools, policies and maturity.
A failed validated assessment would mean months of delay and a difficult conversation with partners.
What we did
The approach, step by step.
- 01
Scope and factors
We set the assessment scope and risk factors so the requirement set fit the real environment, not a theoretical one.
- 02
Readiness across 19 domains
Policy, procedure, implementation and measurement scored domain by domain at every hospital.
- 03
Remediation that sticks
Identity, logging, encryption and third-party controls standardized across sites.
- 04
Validated assessment support
Evidence prepared and organized so the external assessor could test efficiently.
Outcomes
