HITRUST CCSFP Exam - Topic 1 Question 11 Discussion

Posted by Adria on Mar 09, 2026 at 01:34 AM

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]

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.
