HITRUST stands for the Health Information Trust Alliance. It was founded in 2007 and uses the “HITRUST approach” to help organizations from all sectors – but especially healthcare – effectively manage data, information risk and compliance. HITRUST certification by the HITRUST Alliance enables vendors and covered entities to demonstrate compliance with HIPAA requirements based on a standardized framework. HITRUST was organized with the intent to provide an option for the healthcare sector to address information risk management across a matrix of third-party assurance assessments, with the hope of consolidating, reducing, and in some cases, eliminating the need for multiple reports. HITRUST refers to this design element as “assess once, report many.” While FSSI does not have HISRUST CSF Certification, it has passed the HIPAA compliance requirements to be a HIPAA-certified print and mail provider. Both certifications have similar guidelines. Being HIPAA compliant ensures that FSSI follows the best practices for keeping highly-sensitive data secure when accessing processing and storing protected health information.
