HIPAA vs. HITRUST
The Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance is required by law for any organization that generates, stores, or transmits protected health information (PHI). While HIPAA is important, it has been criticized for being vague and open to interpretation. Additionally, there is no HIPAA certification so a claim of being "HIPAA Compliant" cannot be easily validated. The HITRUST Common Security Framework, or CSF, is a comprehensive tool that can be used to help you achieve HIPAA and other compliance while minimizing risk. It is prescriptive and solves the problem of the vagueness of HIPAA. It is third-party verified, which is why over 80% of covered entities require certification of their vendors.
