Designation Bolsters Company’s Distinction in
Security Assessment and Consulting Services
Illustrating leadership in healthcare IT security, risk and
compliance consulting, AppliedTrust, a ViaWest company, announced
today that it has been designated as a HITRUST CSF Assessor. As a
HITRUST CSF Assessor, AppliedTrust is approved by HITRUST to
evaluate and certify organizations according to the HITRUST CSF,
the most widely adopted comprehensive security framework in U.S.
healthcare industry.
“For more than 15 years, AppliedTrust has helped numerous
companies, from hospitals to large corporations, improve
infrastructure security, including interpreting and addressing
regulations such as the HIPAA Security Rule, PCI DSS, NIST, NERC
CIP and others,” said Trent R. Hein, AppliedTrust’s Co-Founder.
“It’s an honor to be among the fewer than 50 companies worldwide
approved by HITRUST as a CSF Assessor, and given our additional
status as a PCI QSA, we are uniquely suited to provide a
comprehensive assessment package to healthcare entities.”
To become a CSF Assessor, AppliedTrust was evaluated based on
its capabilities and processes, scope of services, years of service
in both information security and the healthcare industry, and the
number of individual resources focused in these areas.
"We are pleased to have AppliedTrust as a CSF Assessor to help
healthcare organizations with the process of adopting and utilizing
the HITRUST CSF's requirements and give their clients confidence in
the protection of their information," said Ken Vander Wal, Chief
Compliance Officer, HITRUST. "The company’s long-standing expertise
and leadership in health IT privacy and security solutions make it
a perfect addition to our program.”
The HITRUST CSF assessments will be incorporated as part of
AppliedTrust’s extensive portfolio of security assessment and
consulting services. AppliedTrust also provides consulting services
to assist organizations with security incident response and
forensics; DevOps methodology; achieving optimal performance and
high availability; IT strategy and governance; designing
high-performance, cost-effective systems and networks; and applying
and supporting opensource tools.
“Our clients’ information security and control assurance is our
top priority. AppliedTrust has independently led many of our
clients through all stages of their security lifecycle in order to
position them for compliance achievement and also to ensure that
they are protected with confidence,” said Annalea Ilg, Chief
Information Security Officer for ViaWest. “AppliedTrust’s
consultative assessment approach helps our clients further
understand threats and requirements, identify risk impact and
develop proactive plans for quick remediation. Combining
AppliedTrust’s core talent with being a HITRUST CSF Assessor really
positions the company in a league of its own.”
