e1 Governance Accelerator

Who it's for

Early-stage and growing healthcare-adjacent companies who need to demonstrate foundational cybersecurity hygiene quickly — often to satisfy a customer, partner, or BAA requirement — without building a governance program from a blank page.

What it does

The e1 Governance Accelerator covers the six governance-foundation HITRUST CSF domains — 01 (Information Protection Program), 13 (Education, Training & Awareness), 14 (Third-Party Assurance), 15 (Incident Management), 17 (Risk Management), and 19 (Data Protection & Privacy) — the policies that establish the why, who, and what of a HITRUST program. Technical domains (endpoints, access control, network, encryption) are covered starting at the i1 tier. Every control requirement is tagged with a [BUID Reference] marker for traceability to your assessment — confirm the specific control citation with your assessor via MyCSF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a substitute for hiring an assessor?

No. This toolkit prepares your organization's documentation and evidence so your internal team — or an outside assessor — spends far less time building from scratch. You'll still need a HITRUST-authorized external assessor to complete formal certification.

How do I customize the documents?

Every document uses consistent [COMPANY NAME] and role placeholders. The Implementation Guide walks through what to customize and in what order.

Which HITRUST domains does e1 cover?

Six governance-foundation domains: 01 (Information Protection Program), 13 (Education, Training & Awareness), 14 (Third-Party Assurance), 15 (Incident Management), 17 (Risk Management), and 19 (Data Protection & Privacy). e1's official assessment scope is broader than these six domains, but this is the governance documentation layer the toolkit provides — the i1 tier adds the 11 technical domains most e1 organizations also need.

What if I outgrow the e1 tier?

The i1 Accelerator builds directly on these same six governance domains and adds the 11 technical domains, and r2 extends further to all 19 — so moving up tiers is an extension of your existing documentation, not a rebuild.

What's covered by the license?

Each purchase includes a signed License Agreement (PDF) granting your organization a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use, customize, and internally distribute the toolkit for your own HITRUST program. See the full License Agreement for details.
