HITRUST certifications apply toimplemented systems and environments, not products, individuals, or facilities. For example, a healthcare provider may certify its electronic health record (EHR) platform, data center, and IT operations supporting PHI. HITRUST does not certifyproductslike software applications sold to customers; instead, it certifies how organizations implement and operate them securely. Similarly, while HITRUST offers professional credentials like CCSFP or CHQP forpeople, these are certifications of knowledge, not organizational assurance. Facilities are included in assessments as scoping components but are not independently certified. The certification is always tied to anorganization’s operational environmentas validated through a CSF assessment.
