Would the certification threshold be met in an e1 assessment if all Requirement Statements had...

Thee1 assessmentfocuses on essential cybersecurity hygiene controls. To achieve certification, the Implemented maturity level must demonstratefull (100%) compliancefor each requirement statement. Partial implementation (such as 50%) indicates that the control is not consistently applied or lacks complete coverage across systems and users. HITRUST emphasizes the Implemented level in e1 because it represents proof that foundational safeguards are actively functioning. Scoring 50% would fall into the “Partially Compliant” category, which is insufficient for certification. Even if policies and procedures exist, HITRUST requires controls to be fully implemented for an e1 certification outcome. This strict requirement helps ensure that entities with lower assurance models still achieve a baseline of strong operational security.
