Framework: HITRUST

The r2 assessment represents the pinnacle of HITRUST assurance, validating that controls are not only implemented but continuously measured and managed. Candidates should view it as the comprehensive integration of policy, procedure, operation, and improvement across all domains. This recap reinforces core r2 themes: PRISMA maturity, inheritance validation, rigorous evidence testing, and sustained governance. The r2 process ensures that security and compliance are operational realities, not periodic exercises. Achieving this certification signals an organization’s ability to maintain trust in complex, regulated ecosystems.

From tailored scoping and assessor coordination to CAP closure and QA validation, r2 embodies the full lifecycle of assurance maturity. For exam purposes, candidates should recognize r2 as the model for continuous readiness—where control performance is monitored, metrics guide decisions, and assurance never stops. Completing r2 demonstrates that an organization has institutionalized risk management, aligning operational resilience with stakeholder expectations and industry best practices.
