HITRUST CSF – Seattle (WA)

 

Seattle and Washington healthcare companies must protect sensitive patient data from cybercriminals, especially concerning Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI). Ensuring the organization has the proper cybersecurity controls, processes, and protections to maintain compliance with HIPAA and other regulations is imperative. Many healthcare payers require hospitals, medical practices, and third-party affiliates to receive HITRUST CSF certification before doing business with them. The comprehensive nature of HITRUST CSF allows enterprises to meet the multiple compliance requirements of various data protection and risk management standards. For this reason, it is crucial to work with an experienced provider to drive the process.
