BEYOND will identify gaps in your existing environment that could prevent HITRUST certification and provide detailed information on the findings, recommendations, strategy, and timeline for developing your Information Security Program “ISP” to meet the current HITRUST framework.

A readiness assessment is an essential part of any organizational change management program and should be completed before you launch technical implementation and update or recreate your documentation.

• Determine the scope of the assessment.
• Questionnaire / Interviews are completed.
• Constant contact – frequent communication / status meetings throughout.
• BEYOND will review, conduct analysis and develop a working draft report.
• BEYOND will review findings and draft report with the client.

Let’s put BEYOND’s CIO executive leadership and security knowledge to work for your organization.  Our security services offer you access to a team of professionals that provide the required subject matter expertise to help you strengthen your “ISP”.

As a team we can develop and manage your security program.  We will quickly work with you to gain knowledge and build a strategy on addressing your security gaps.  With our mature and vast knowledge of the security environment, we will go to work to solve these problems for you with results that you can rely on.

This work can include:

• Implementation of products / managed services
• Internal processes such as BC/DR Plan | Data Classification | Incident Response | IT Vendor Management | Risk Management | Teleworking (WFH) | vCISO Services
• The creation of necessary documents (Policy / Procedure Guides) that are written to communicate each step clearly and developed to meet your compliance needs.

BEYOND customizes each CSF Assessment plan to serve the unique needs and scoped environment of your organization.  Whether you are going through certification the first time, or recertifying we work with each of our clients individually for their success.  Through carefully outlined steps, BEYOND will conduct the assessment using our expertise and knowledge of HITRUST to obtain the goal of certification.

• Confirm the scope of the assessment.
• Create the required Test Plan for use in the assessment.
• The same validation team will work with you throughout the entire assessment.
• Constant contact – frequent communication | status meetings throughout.
• BEYOND will analyze the results and validate all responses.
• Investigate | conducted interviews to clarify all findings.
• Address needs for conducting “BRIDGE Assessment” if required.

The Interim Assessment follows the same guidance as the Validated Assessment, with a reduced number of requirements.  Leading up to the Interim Assessment, The BEYOND Security Team will work with you to ensure you are ready for the Interim Assessment.

• CAPS (if applicable) addressed

The mid-certification review will then be conducted by the BEYOND Validation Team and follows the same process as the Validated Assessment (see Phase 3 Validated Assessment).
