CSF Assessors

CSF Assessors are those organizations that have been approved by HITRUST for performing assessment and services associated with the CSF Assurance Program and the Common Security Framework (CSF), a comprehensive security framework that incorporates the existing security requirements of healthcare organizations.

CSF Assessors are critical to HITRUST's efforts to provide trained resources to healthcare organizations of varying size and complexity to assess compliance with security control requirements and document corrective action plans that align with the CSF.

HITRUST requires an organization to meet certain criteria in order to become accredited as a CSF Assessor. Requirements for an organization to become a CSF Assessor include:

• Completing the CSF Assessor Application and executing the HITRUST CSF Assessor Agreement.
• Having policies defined and procedures implemented to ensure the integrity and ethics of an organization's employees.
• Committing individuals to support HITRUST services and become trained as HITRUST Practitioners.
• Maintaining expertise through participation in HITRUST and other healthcare or security committees.
