HITRUST Assessment Types: e1, i1, and r2
HITRUST offers a tiered approach to cybersecurity assessments, allowing organizations to select the level that best aligns with their risk profile, regulatory requirements, and security objectives. Each assessment builds upon the previous, providing a scalable path to comprehensive compliance.
Essential (e1) Assessment – Foundational Cybersecurity
The e1 assessment is designed for organizations seeking to establish essential cybersecurity practices. It includes 44 predefined controls focusing on basic security hygiene, making it suitable for startups or entities with minimal risk exposure. The e1 assessment is valid for one year and serves as a stepping stone toward more rigorous evaluations.
Implemented (i1) Assessment – Enhanced Security Measures
Building upon the e1, the i1 assessment encompasses approximately 182 controls, including the initial 44, and introduces additional measures aligned with leading cybersecurity practices. This assessment is ideal for organizations aiming to demonstrate a moderate level of assurance and is valid for one year. It provides a more comprehensive evaluation of an organization's security posture.
Risk-Based (r2) Assessment – Comprehensive Risk Management
The r2 assessment offers the highest level of assurance, tailored to an organization's specific risk factors. It involves a thorough evaluation of policies, procedures, and implementation across various domains, with the number of controls varying based on the organization's complexity. The r2 certification is valid for two years, with an interim review, and is suited for organizations handling significant volumes of sensitive data requiring stringent compliance measures.
