HITRUST i1 requires more than documentation. It requires evidence that your security controls are operating effectively. Thoropass brings readiness, automation, and assessment together in one connected experience, with a HITRUST Accredited Assessor guiding your team from scoping through validation.
HITRUST i1 validates the effectiveness of your cybersecurity program through implemented controls and testing, not just policy documentation. Thoropass automates evidence collection from the systems you already use and organizes it into auditor-ready submissions, making it easier to demonstrate that your controls are working as intended.
Your assessor is involved from the beginning, helping define scope, answer questions, review evidence, and keep your assessment moving. With one dedicated team throughout the engagement, you avoid unnecessary handoffs, reduce surprises, and stay aligned from readiness through certification.
Maintaining operational evidence across dozens of controls can quickly become overwhelming. With more than 100 auditor-vetted integrations, Thoropass continuously collects evidence from your environment, reducing manual work and giving your assessor the visibility needed to keep your assessment moving.
Your security program shouldn't be rebuilt for every assessment. Reuse controls and evidence across HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and other frameworks to reduce duplicate work and simplify compliance as your organization grows.

HITRUST i1 is a 1-year validated assessment focused on a broader set of implemented security controls. It is designed to provide stronger assurance than e1 while remaining more standardized and focused than r2.
HITRUST i1 can be a good fit for organizations with established security practices that need to demonstrate stronger assurance to customers, partners, or third-party risk teams.
HITRUST e1 focuses on foundational cybersecurity assurance. HITRUST i1 evaluates a broader set of implemented controls aligned to leading practices. HITRUST r2 is the most comprehensive option and uses a tailored, risk-based scope for more complex environments.
Yes. HITRUST designed the assessment portfolio so organizations can build from e1 to i1 to r2. Work completed for i1 can help support a future move toward r2 when business needs, customer expectations, or risk requirements increase.
Thoropass brings experienced HITRUST assessors, a structured assessment process, and a lifecycle platform together in one connected experience. Your team gets clearer evidence requests, organized review, direct assessor guidance, and support through certification delivery.
