AWS has introduced a compliance guide titled 'HITRUST i1 Compliance on AWS: Customer Implementation Guidance with an Illustrative Healthcare Platform.' This guide helps healthcare organizations understand and implement HITRUST i1 certification requirements using AWS as their cloud foundation.
The HITRUST i1 certification includes 182 curated controls, and is the most widely required tier in healthcare contracts and agreements. Its significance lies in the necessity for healthcare vendors to prove compliance with stringent health data security standards.
The guide walks professionals such as cloud architects and security engineers through the i1 engagement lifecycle, covering key areas like defining assessment boundaries and implementing required controls. It specifically addresses 11 technical control domains essential for maintaining healthcare data security.
The guidance is based on a fictional healthcare platform scenario aimed at illustrating HITRUST concepts. Organizations are advised to consult with a HITRUST Authorized External Assessor to ensure adherence to specific compliance requirements as they relate to unique operational environments.
The HITRUST i1 Compliance guidance can be downloaded through AWS resources, along with additional assurance documentation and the Customer Responsibility Matrix available on the AWS portal.
