HITRUST accommodates organizations that cannot upload sensitive evidence to the MyCSF portal due to corporate or regulatory policies. The mechanism for this isQA Tasks. Through QA Tasks, HITRUST QA reviewers can request clarifications, additional evidence, or narrative responses, which can be provided without uploading sensitive raw data. This method allows entities to describe processes, reference documents, or provide redacted information while maintaining compliance with their internal data-handling policies.
Options such as "Live QA" or "Onsite visits" are not part of the standard assurance program workflow.
Escalated QA refers to dispute resolution or additional reviews and does not address evidence handling. QA Tasks are the standard method HITRUST uses to facilitate communication and evidence review without violating data-handling restrictions.
