A Healthcare Compliance Leader’s Guide to HITRUST and HIPAA - ZenGRC
The guide from ZenGRC explains how healthcare compliance teams can streamline overlapping HIPAA and HITRUST programs—typically managed separately by legal and security teams—by running them from a unified control plane to avoid duplicate efforts, understand control overlays, address common certification failures, and efficiently map evidence across frameworks, providing workflows, checklists, and preparation strategies for successful HITRUST submission.
Your HIPAA and HITRUST programs overlap. Your teams don’t.
HIPAA sits with legal. HITRUST sits with security. The controls overlap significantly, yet the execution does not. The result is duplicate evidence collection, disconnected audit cycles, and a team that is always in preparation mode but rarely feels ready.
This guide breaks down:
- How high-performing healthcare compliance teams run HIPAA and HITRUST from a single control plane
- How HIPAA-HITRUST controls overlay
- Why HITRUST certifications stall (and what actually causes failures)
- How to build a program where evidence is mapped once and applied across frameworks
