How Third-Party Risk Is Changing the Value of HITRUST Certification

Описание: HITRUST Secrets is back for 2026

We have the same expert guidance, with a new registration and reminder platform and a new Zoom link to make it even easier to join the conversation.

In this first live Q&A of the year, we covered the issues already shaping compliance and risk management priorities for 2026, with a focus on practical, cost-aware approaches organizations can actually implement.

Topics discussed include:
• Third-Party Risk Management as a top concern for 2026, driven by cloud dependence and critical infrastructure vendors
• New monthly HITRUST customer training now offered by the HITRUST Alliance and how organizations can take advantage of it
• Penetration testing options that balance risk reduction with budget realities without defaulting to five-figure engagements
• A brief review of recent HITRUST blog posts and what they signal about evolving expectations

As always, this session was driven by real questions from the community—no sales pitches, just open discussion.
