The program is a scaled-down version of HITRUST\u2019s core services, starting with the HITRUST CSF privacy and security framework that is continuously evolving with the changing cyber landscape.

CSF enables startups and other organizations to perform assessments and compare results against privacy and security controls, as well as multiple other controls, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, HIPAA requirements and GDPR European regulations.

\u201cNavigating risk management and compliance requirements can be costly, a strain on internal resources and daunting for any company, but it can be compounded in startups that are focusing on their vision to market,\u201d says Mike Parisi, vice president at HITRUST. \u201cThe Right Start program will ensure dedicated programs managing risk, compliance, security and privacy are foundational practices within a startup by embedding these security standards into their evolving business models.
