HITRUST r2 assessments require careful scoping, ongoing collaboration, and experienced judgment. Your dedicated HITRUST Accredited Assessor works with your team from kickoff through certification, helping resolve issues early, reduce surprises, and keep even the most complex assessments on track.
HITRUST r2 is a 2-year validated assessment designed for organizations that need the highest level of HITRUST assurance. It uses a tailored, risk-based scope and evaluates a more comprehensive control environment than e1 or i1.
HITRUST r2 can be a strong fit for mature organizations, complex environments, companies handling sensitive data at scale, and teams that need to satisfy rigorous customer, partner, or regulatory assurance expectations.
HITRUST e1 provides foundational assurance, and HITRUST i1 provides broader assurance around implemented leading practices. HITRUST r2 is the most comprehensive option, with a tailored scope based on risk and complexity.
HITRUST r2 certification is valid for two years. Organizations typically complete an interim assessment during the certification period to support continued assurance.
Yes. HITRUST designed the e1, i1, and r2 portfolio to be traversable, so work completed in earlier assessments can help support progress toward more comprehensive assurance.
Thoropass brings experienced HITRUST assessors, a structured assessment process, and a lifecycle platform together in one connected experience. Your team gets clearer scope, organized evidence review, direct assessor guidance, and support through certification delivery.
