HITRUST CSF- Chicago (IL)

Chicago and Illinois healthcare companies need to ensure that sensitive patient data is protected from cybercriminals, especially when it comes to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI). Ensuring the organization has the proper cybersecurity controls, processes, and protections in place to maintain compliance with HIPAA and other regulations is imperative. In fact, many healthcare payers require that hospitals, medical practices, and third-party affiliates 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.
