HITRUST CCSFP Exam - Topic 4 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for HITRUST's CCSFP exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 4

The HITRUST CSF is updated on an annual basis.

ATrue

BFalse

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The HITRUST CSF is a living framework designed to align with multiple regulatory and industry standards such as HIPAA, NIST, ISO, PCI DSS, and GDPR. While it is updated regularly to maintain alignment with these external sources, the update cycle is not strictly annual. HITRUST publishes updates as needed, typically in major releases (e.g., v9.1, v9.4, v11) and interim updates when regulatory changes occur. For example, significant updates may happen every 18--24 months, with minor updates issued in between. This flexibility allows HITRUST to remain responsive to evolving security, privacy, and compliance requirements rather than being bound to a fixed yearly schedule. Therefore, the statement that the CSF is always updated annually is False.

The HITRUST CSF updates make sense to be annual, as security standards and best practices evolve over time. I'll go with True unless I can find a reason to think otherwise.
