Why It Matters
What is the difference between HITRUST and HIPAA?
HITRUST vs HIPAA: While HIPAA serves as a legal mandate developed by lawmakers, HITRUST emerges as a robust framework crafted by security industry experts, encompassing HIPAA elements. Going beyond HIPAA’s requirements by adding additional data security best practices, HITRUST integrates them into a security and risk-based framework. Recuro Health’s HITRUST certification demonstrates our adherence to these best practices and HIPAA-mandated security controls. As highlighted by the HHS, HIPAA requires covered entities to enforce appropriate administrative, technical, and physical controls to safeguard protected health information (PHI). Recuro Health’s HITRUST certification demonstrates our commitment to implementing these safeguards effectively.
Why is a HITRUST certification important?
Having a HITRUST certification is crucial for demonstrating compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements. Without it, providers, payers, and patients may be unsure if their protected health information (PHI) is adequately safeguarded. Recuro Health’s HITRUST certification provides a clear signal of compliance, instilling confidence in our partners and customers. Moreover, achieving HITRUST certification sets Recuro Health as a leader in data security and privacy. The frameworks and controls required to be in place not only helps mitigate risks of attacks and breaches but also ensures ongoing compliance amidst evolving threats and regulations. With Recuro Health, you not only protect your business but also enhance trust and loyalty among stakeholders, gaining a competitive edge in the market.
