HITRUST CSF Certification — The Gold Standard for Healthcare

HITRUST CSF (Common Security Framework) is the most widely adopted security framework in the U.S. healthcare industry, harmonizing requirements from HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory standards into a single certifiable framework. Revenue Synergy maintains HITRUST CSF certification, demonstrating our commitment to the highest level of healthcare information security.

Our HITRUST certification validates:

  • Risk-based security controls tailored to healthcare data environments
  • Comprehensive coverage of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
  • Third-party validated assessment of 19 security domains
  • Continuous monitoring and remediation of identified control gaps
  • Alignment with federal and state regulatory requirements
  • Supply chain risk management and vendor oversight controls

HITRUST certification is independently validated every two years through a rigorous assessment process conducted by an authorized HITRUST assessor, with an interim assessment at the one-year mark.

Technical Security Controls & Practices

Our multi-layered security architecture protects healthcare data at every point — at rest, in transit, and in use — across all systems and facilities.

Encryption

AES-256 encryption for all data at rest. TLS 1.3 for all data in transit. Encrypted VPN tunnels for remote system access. Hardware security modules (HSMs) for cryptographic key management. No unencrypted PHI is ever stored on local devices.

Access Controls

Role-based access control (RBAC) enforced across all systems. Multi-factor authentication required for every user. Principle of least privilege applied to all data access. Automated access deprovisioning upon role change or termination. Privileged access management (PAM) for administrator accounts.

Audit Trails

Every system action involving PHI is logged in an immutable, tamper-proof audit trail. Logs include user identity, timestamp, action performed, and data accessed. Log retention for 7 years minimum. Real-time monitoring with automated alerts for suspicious access patterns.

Network Security

Next-generation firewalls with deep packet inspection. Network segmentation isolating production, development, and management environments. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS). 24/7 security operations center (SOC) monitoring. DDoS protection and web application firewalls.

Vulnerability Management

Annual third-party penetration testing by certified ethical hackers. Quarterly vulnerability scans across all systems and applications. Patch management program with critical patches applied within 48 hours. Bug bounty program for responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities.

Physical Security

Biometric access controls at all facility entry points. 24/7 CCTV surveillance with 90-day retention. Visitor management with escort requirements. Restricted server room access limited to authorized personnel. Clean desk policy enforced with regular audits.

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Planning

Revenue cycle operations cannot afford downtime. Revenue Synergy maintains a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) to ensure uninterrupted service delivery regardless of circumstances.

  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 4 hours for critical operations
  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 1 hour maximum data loss
  • Geographic redundancy: Operations distributed across 3 global locations
  • Data backups: Real-time replication to geographically separate data centers
  • Failover testing: Quarterly tabletop exercises and annual full-failover drills
  • Redundant connectivity: Dual ISPs at every facility with automatic failover
  • Power continuity: UPS and diesel generator backup at all data centers
  • Pandemic preparedness: 100% remote-work capability proven during COVID-19

Employee Training & Background Verification

Security is only as strong as the people who practice it. Every Revenue Synergy team member undergoes rigorous screening and continuous security training.

Pre-Employment Screening

Every new hire undergoes comprehensive background verification including criminal history check, employment verification, education verification, professional reference checks, and credit history review for roles with financial access. OIG and GSA exclusion list screening is performed before hiring and monthly thereafter.

Security & Compliance Training

All team members complete mandatory HIPAA training upon hire and annually. Additional training covers phishing awareness, social engineering defense, secure data handling, incident reporting procedures, and role-specific security protocols. Training completion is tracked and non-compliance triggers immediate escalation. Simulated phishing exercises are conducted quarterly with a target failure rate below 3%.

Confidentiality Agreements

Every employee signs a comprehensive confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement covering all client PHI and proprietary information. These agreements survive termination of employment. Exit procedures include confirmed return of all company assets, revocation of all system access within 1 hour, and a documented offboarding attestation.

Ongoing Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of employee access patterns through user behavior analytics (UBA). Monthly OIG/GSA exclusion list re-screening for all staff. Annual performance reviews include compliance adherence evaluation. Whistleblower hotline available for anonymous reporting of security concerns. Zero-tolerance policy for any HIPAA violations with defined disciplinary procedures.

Security & Compliance Questions

We access your EHR/PM system through encrypted VPN tunnels with multi-factor authentication. Each team member is assigned role-based credentials with the minimum permissions necessary to perform their specific function. All access is logged in real time and reviewed regularly. We never download or store PHI on local devices.
Yes. A fully executed BAA is a mandatory component of every client engagement. We provide our standard BAA during the contracting process and are happy to review and accommodate reasonable modifications to align with your legal requirements. No work begins until the BAA is signed by both parties.
Our ISO 27001 certification is subject to annual surveillance audits and a full recertification audit every three years by an accredited registrar. HITRUST CSF certification requires a validated assessment every two years with an interim assessment at the one-year mark. HIPAA risk assessments are conducted annually by an independent third party. Penetration tests are performed at least annually.
Our Incident Response Plan follows NIST SP 800-61 guidelines and includes defined procedures for identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned. Affected clients are notified within 24 hours of a confirmed incident involving their data. Our breach notification process fully complies with HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requirements, including the 60-day reporting timeline to HHS for breaches affecting 500+ individuals.
Absolutely. We provide copies of our ISO 27001 certificate, HITRUST CSF certification letter, most recent penetration test executive summary, and HIPAA risk assessment summary to all prospective and current clients upon request. Detailed audit reports and compliance documentation are available under NDA for enterprise clients conducting vendor due diligence.
Yes. Our ISO 27001 and HITRUST certifications cover all facilities globally — including our delivery centers in Noida, India and Manila, Philippines. The same security policies, access controls, monitoring systems, employee screening, and training requirements are enforced uniformly across every location. Physical security at offshore facilities actually exceeds many U.S. standards, with biometric access, CCTV, and 24/7 on-site security personnel.
We follow client-specific data retention policies in compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. When data disposal is required, we use NIST 800-88 compliant methods — including cryptographic erasure for digital media and cross-cut shredding for physical documents. Certificates of destruction are provided for all disposed media. Upon contract termination, all client data is returned or destroyed per the client's instructions within 30 days.
