HITRUST vs ISO 27001

While ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally respected standard for information security management, there are several notable shortcomings when compared to the HITRUST CSF certification, particularly in areas like control specificity, transparency, and regulatory alignment.

HITRUST meets high-assurance demands across industries

HITRUST far surpasses ISO 27001 in terms of being able to provide detailed third-party assurance & measurable results. ISO 27001 provides foundational assurance but lacks the scoring, granularity, and transparency that HITRUST delivers.

HITRUST vs ISO

HITRUST is the leader in cybersecurity assurance, offering certification programs for the application and validation of security, privacy, and AI controls. It is the only assurance mechanism proven to mitigate risk. HITRUST harmonizes more than 60 authoritative sources, such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP & PCI to name just a few, and makes them available through its comprehensive HITRUST CSF framework.

With HITRUST certification, organizations can demonstrate their compliance with regulatory standards and security best practices using a globally recognized standard.
