Authentic HITRUST Certification Exam CCSFP Questions Answers

The Measured maturity level requires organizations to demonstrate structured metrics, analysis, and reporting across seven defined criteria. If these criteria are not met, the Measured level cannot receive any positive score. Instead, it defaults to Tier 0, representing Non-Compliant (0%) at this maturity level. This ensures that organizations cannot claim credit for partial or informal measurement practices. For example, if firewall logs are collected but never analyzed or reported, the criteria are not satisfied, and the Measured score remains Tier 0. Only once all seven criteria are satisfied can scoring begin at Tier 4 and be adjusted based on coverage and strength.

For Implemented domain remediations, HITRUST requires 60 days of operation before retesting.

This ensures the control is not only deployed, but also functioning effectively over time.

A 30-day threshold applies to Policy/Process, while Implemented requires longer to validate consistent application.

Extract Reference (HITRUST CSF Scoring & CAP Guidance [0130]):

Implementation gaps must show at least 60 days of operating effectiveness before retesting can validate remediation.

For r2 Validated Assessments, certification requires meeting HITRUST’s minimum scoring thresholds across all applicable areas (commonly ≥62.5%). If any domain (or required control reference/requirement) falls below the threshold (e.g., <61 or <62.5 as applicable), the assessment cannot be certified and will be issued as a Validated Report without Certification.

“If any required scoring area is below the minimum threshold, the outcome is a Validated Report without Certification until deficiencies are remediated.” [HITRUST CSF Assurance Program – Certification Criteria, 0142]
