Organizations that create, store, access or exchange health and other sensitive information are challenged with how to satisfy and comply with the myriad of regulations, standards, risks and audits and do so in a manner that is both manageable and practical. The issues surrounding the protection of health information are complex and diverse but critical to the broad adoption, utilization of and confidence in health information systems, medical technologies and electronic exchanges.

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) is a comprehensive set of tools developed to aid organizations that create, store, access or exchange electronic health and other sensitive information. Organizations adhering to this framework will protect their information assets and manage related risks, costs and complexities.
