SOC 2 + HITRUST
SOC 2 + HITRUST certification combines the security & data management principles of SOC 2 with the security controls of HITRUST
What is it?
SOC 2 + HITRUST is a comprehensive compliance service designed for organizations seeking to meet the requirements of both the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework). This service is particularly valuable for healthcare, finance, and other highly regulated industries where ensuring data security, privacy, and compliance is critical.
The integration of SOC 2's focus on service organization controls and HITRUST's broader healthcare-specific cybersecurity requirements provides a unified approach to meet industry standards.
