Based on how your organization interacts with PHI, you are in the low cost category for HITRUST certification.

We estimate that your fee to the HITRUST Alliance will range from $6K to $15K and the assessor will cost you $30K. In terms of indirect costs, we estimate that certification will require around 300 - 400 hours of work from your organization. Billed at $100 per hour, that puts indirect costs at $30,000 - $40,000 dollars.

Even though you’re in the low cost category, the price is certainly no small line item. Did you know that working with the right managed service provider (MSP) can significantly reduce the work needed to achieve HITRUST? Imagine if you could shave off 200 hours from your timeline. **Cloudticity**, a **Certified HITRUST Inheritance Provider**, can help.

The high price tag deters many organizations from pursuing HITRUST. However, did you know that working with the right managed service provider (MSP) can significantly reduce the work needed to achieve HITRUST? Imagine if you could shave off 268 hours from your timeline. **Cloudticity**, a **Certified HITRUST Inheritance Provider**, can help.

## Uh oh. Not using the public cloud?

![photo](https://www.cloudticity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/photo.png?width=500&height=898&name=photo.png)

Meeting all of the HITRUST requirements within an on-premise environment is a daunting task not for the faint of heart.

You’ll have to implement all of the policies that address safeguarding the physical infrastructure (compute, storage, and networking) as well as initiate controls that address how you store, process and transmit sensitive data.

Did you know that organizations that utilize public cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform can significantly accelerate their HITRUST certification timeline by inheriting HITRUST controls from the cloud service provider? In fact, organizations that utilize the public cloud reduce their HITRUST timelines by 25-40%. We don’t recommend pursuing HITRUST in the absence of a cloud strategy.
