Becoming HITRUST Certified should not be a burden on your people or your budget. At BEYOND LLC, we will walk with you through the process, and provide as much assistance as you require:

• The process might start with a PRE-ASSESSMENT.  This will give an indication of the current state of your IT and data security. This usually takes just a few days; and if minor gaps are found, your internal team might be able to correct them.

• Your Organization may want to take a deeper dive into your IT and data security framework which BEYOND would then work with your team and complete a FACILITATED SELF-ASSESSMENT.  This step will give you an even stronger understanding of the current state of your security and privacy controls.  A review of the work is completed by HITRUST with an overall report issued.  Again, if gaps are found, could correct prior to a full validated assessment.

• A full VALIDATED ASSESSMENT completed by BEYOND follows the process as defined by HITRUST.  This assessment will take a closer examination in assessing your IT systems, firewalls, data protection and much more – with the end-goal of a HITRUST CSF Certification. In some cases, the Validated Assessment results in a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) that identifies corrections needed to achieve certification, along with a timetable for handling.

• If a CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP) results from the Validated Assessment, BEYOND can assist your internal team in resolving the CAP issues.

• BEYOND can remain your resource for the INTERIM REVIEW and the RENEWAL OF YOUR HITRUST CERTIFICATION, including scheduled reviews to ensure that the CAP issues have been resolved.
