HITRUST introduced the HITRUST Assurance Intelligence Engine, which uses a patent-pending approach to analyze assessment documentation for oversights, inconsistencies, and errors throughout the information security and privacy assessment process.

Effective immediately, the HITRUST MyCSF SaaS information risk management and assessment platform will incorporate the AI Engine to measurably increase assurances delivered through HITRUST CSF Assessments.

As the assurances provided by the AI Engine are significantly greater than a traditional self-assessment, HITRUST will refer to these as HITRUST CSF Verified Assessments going forward, which applies today to the HITRUST CSF Readiness Assessment.

The HITRUST AI Engine was designed and developed by leveraging HITRUST's more than 13 years of compliance assessment experience, best-in-class quality assurance methodologies, and data analytics on hundreds of thousands of assessments submitted by organizations of varying sizes, industries, complexities, and locales.

"The oversight afforded through HITRUST's CSF Assurance Program provides numerous quality advantages over other assurance programs and certifying bodies, most notably that HITRUST has distributed the assessment fieldwork while standardizing and centralizing the platform that is leveraged to provide the assurance and compliance aspects in all HITRUST CSF reporting," said Bimal Sheth, Vice President of HITRUST Assurance Services.

The HITRUST AI Engine is fully integrated into HITRUST's assessment quality assurance, oversight, and reporting processes to further strengthen the already best-in-class rely-ability of HITRUST CSF reports-a term used by HITRUST as the ability to rely upon, or trust, the information provided by another.
