HITRUST, a leading data protection standards development and certification organization, continues to expand and enhance its services and support in the Asia Pacific region as part of a global information protection approach to streamline information risk management and compliance for organizations of any type, size, or geography delivering services locally, nationally, or internationally.

The creation of the Asia Advisory Council ensures that the HITRUST Approach remains current and relevant to the needs of the HITRUST community in Asia.

The HITRUST CSF currently contains 44 authoritative sources covering various privacy and security standards and laws, including Singapore's PDPA. HITRUST has committed to incorporating additional sources that align in these three areas: data privacy, banking and financial services, and cybersecurity/IT. HITRUST will work with the Asia Advisory Council to identify and prioritize additional standards and laws for future inclusion.

HITRUST has submitted an application to become an Accountability Agent for the CBPRS and PRPS, which allows HITRUST organizations to demonstrate compliance with these key data transfer rules as part of their HITRUST CSF Validated Report.

"HITRUST is taking a focused approach to our Asia engagement to better assist organizations in the region in addressing their global information risk management and compliance priorities, increasing our already growing momentum in the market relating to CSF adoption, assessments and training," explained Steve Baram, Senior Vice President, HITRUST. "As the global privacy and security landscape expands, so will HITRUST's framework and services."
