HITRUST has announced the launch of HITRUST Continuous Assurance, a new strategic evolution aimed at enhancing security sustainability and outcomes through continuous control monitoring. This initiative builds upon the proven HITRUST ecosystem, providing organizations with an efficient way to manage security and compliance risks in the face of evolving cyber threats. Traditional approaches that prioritize compliance over security are increasingly inadequate, especially in the era of generative AI and sophisticated cyber-attacks.

Continuous Assurance minimizes the risk of evidence decay by enabling organizations to monitor security controls continuously, ensuring that security requirements remain relevant and reliable. Key features of this initiative include automated evidence collection, a continuous monitoring taxonomy integrated with the HITRUST CSF, and enhanced workflows in HITRUST’s MyCSF platform. The system also supports integration with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems, ensuring streamlined risk management.

HITRUST's Continuous Assurance will leverage its extensive certification framework, which has shown significant success. Notably, the 2024 HITRUST Trust Report highlighted that 99.4% of HITRUST-certified organizations did not report a breach over the past two years. Continuous Assurance offers new capabilities that further solidify HITRUST’s role as a leader in information security risk management.
