HITRUST CCSFP Exam - Topic 1 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for HITRUST's CCSFP exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 1

[All CCSFP Questions]

When partially inheriting a requirement statement score from an external cloud service provider, the weighting applied to the score is determined primarily by the assessed entity and the service provider. [0190]

ATrue

BFalse

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The weighting of partially inherited scores in HITRUST is determined by HITRUST's methodology, not by mutual agreement between the assessed entity and service provider.

Organizations may identify which portions of a requirement are inherited vs. managed internally, but the actual scoring mechanics are controlled by the HITRUST CSF Assurance methodology to ensure consistency.

Extract Reference (HITRUST CSF Inheritance Guidance [0190]):

Weighting for partial inheritance is calculated using HITRUST's scoring methodology, not negotiated between entities.

Wait, so the score can change based on who assesses it?

This sounds familiar, but I can't recall the specifics. I might go with A since it seems to align with what we discussed in class.

I'm leaning towards B because I feel like the service provider shouldn't have all the control over the weighting.

I remember a practice question about scoring requirements, and it mentioned the importance of both parties involved. Could be A?

I think the answer might be A, but I'm not entirely sure how the weighting works in this context.
