CCSFP Dumps With Exact Questions and Answers

When scoring Measured and Managed maturity levels in HITRUST, evidence requirements are more rigorous. If these levels are scored above 50%, organizations must demonstrate that formal processes exist to measure control performance, that reports are generated to monitor effectiveness, and that accountability for measurement and management is assigned. Specifically:

Processes show how control gaps are tracked, risks mitigated, and remediation addressed.

Reports provide tangible outputs proving monitoring activities (e.g., audit logs, vulnerability reports).

Responsible individuals must be identified to show governance and ownership of measurement functions.

Organizational scoping factors, while important for tailoring requirements, do not serve as evidence of maturity scoring. HITRUST’s QA team requires this documentation to confirm that high maturity levels are not claimed without demonstrable evidence of ongoing monitoring and governance.

Only in r2 assessments can organizations carve out third-party controls as not applicable if the responsibility lies entirely with a third party (e.g., inherited from a cloud provider).

In e1 and i1 assessments, carve-outs are not allowed because they are standardized, prescriptive frameworks.

Interim assessments are continuations of r2 certifications and do not allow carve-outs beyond the initial scope.

Extract Reference (HITRUST CSF Inheritance and Scoping Guidance [0116]):

Third-party carve-outs as N/A are only permitted in r2 assessments, as i1 and e1 follow prescriptive control sets.

The r2 Validated Assessment provides the highest level of assurance within the HITRUST portfolio. It includes all 19 CSF domains and applies a risk-based approach tailored to the organization’s industry, regulatory obligations, and technical environment. The r2 incorporates maturity level scoring (Policy, Procedure, Implementation, Measured, and Managed), allowing stakeholders to evaluate both control presence and long-term sustainability. It is also the only assessment type eligible for a two-year certification, provided interim requirements are met. By contrast, i1 and e1 assessments provide lower levels of assurance, designed for cybersecurity hygiene and medium-level assurance, respectively. Organizations with complex environments, sensitive data, or high regulatory expectations generally pursue r2 to provide maximum assurance to stakeholders.
