HITRUST Domain 19: Data Protection and Privacy Policy Template

Domain 19 covers data protection and privacy end to end: data classification and inventory, notice and consent, individual rights requests, data minimization, retention and secure disposal, and breach notification specific to protected data. It's the domain with the most direct overlap with HIPAA.

Why not just use a free generic template? Free HITRUST templates are a reasonable starting shape, and we point people to good ones on our Free Resources page. What they don't have is what this policy is built around: every one of its 46 control requirement statements carries a [BUID Reference] marker traceable to a specific HITRUST requirement, plus a HITRUST ↔ HIPAA ↔ NIST ↔ ISO 27001 crosswalk. Those are the two things that actually save time in front of an assessor.

What this policy covers

Domain 19 covers data protection and privacy end to end: data classification and inventory, notice and consent, individual rights requests, data minimization, retention and secure disposal, and breach notification specific to protected data. It's the domain with the most direct overlap with HIPAA.

Who it's for

Organizations handling PHI or PII that need privacy program documentation aligned to HITRUST, not a generic privacy policy bolted on separately.
