Framework: HITRUST

Packaging and submission represent the final stages of the i1 journey, where all documentation, evidence, and assessor testing results are consolidated for HITRUST QA review. Candidates should understand that successful packaging requires consistency, accuracy, and completeness. Each control must contain its narratives, cross-references, and supporting evidence in MyCSF with proper labeling and version control. The assessor’s testing results and scoring must align with PRISMA expectations, ensuring that all evidence demonstrates an implemented maturity level. QA reviewers verify the integrity of this submission to confirm it meets HITRUST standards.

Operationally, organizations should perform a final quality sweep to ensure all attachments are current, file names are meaningful, and control responses match assessor notes. For exam preparation, candidates should recognize that the submission stage reflects the culmination of governance, evidence discipline, and internal review processes. Packaging an assessment is not just administrative—it’s a compliance milestone that proves the organization can manage its assurance lifecycle end-to-end. A well-prepared submission minimizes rework, accelerates certification, and builds credibility with stakeholders.
