LockPath, a provider of innovative governance, risk and compliance (GRC) applications, today announced it will integrate the Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) Common Security Framework (CSF) with its Keylight platform. This addition to Keylight's extensive Content Library will offer the ability to quickly access and correlate the HITRUST CSF within Keylight, simplifying compliance reporting and helping healthcare organizations better ensure personal health information privacy by understanding and mitigating security risks.
The HITRUST CSF is an information security framework that harmonizes the requirements of existing standards and regulations, including federal (HIPAA, HITECH), third party (PCI, COBIT) and government (NIST, FTC). As a framework, the CSF provides organizations with the needed structure, detail and clarity relating to information security tailored to the healthcare industry.
Integrating and correlating data from multiple sources and systems into a single view is essential to effectively safeguard patient records and manage compliance risk factors. Keylight delivers integrated, actionable dashboards and reports to provide a holistic view of an organization's security and risk posture. Healthcare organizations of all sizes are using LockPath to address the increasingly complex issues of regulatory compliance and risk management. With LockPath, healthcare organizations can:

"While governance, risk and compliance solutions are available for large hospital networks, most are too expensive and unwieldy for smaller entities. Our mission is to give customers an easy-to-use, affordable solution for their risk and compliance headaches," said Chris Caldwell, co-founder and CEO, LockPath. "The addition of the HITRUST CSF ensures that we continue to do just that -- giving our healthcare customers a simple, best-practice approach to better manage risks and demonstrate compliance."
"Safeguarding personal health information is absolutely critical for healthcare organizations of all sizes," said Dr. Bryan Cline, vice president, CSF development and implementation, and chief information security officer, HITRUST. "The HITRUST CSF and advanced GRC tools like Keylight are simplifying and streamlining the assessment and compliance process so healthcare organizations across the country can improve information protection."
