HITRUST CCSFP Exam - Topic 5 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for HITRUST's CCSFP exam
Question #: 5
Topic #: 5
[All CCSFP Questions]

On an r2 assessment, when considering the CAP vs. gap decision, will CAPs be required if a Control Reference has an aggregate raw score of 72.5 across Requirement Statements with gaps?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

HITRUST applies the CAP requirement at the Control Reference level. A CAP is required when the Control Reference score falls at 70 or below and Implementation maturity is not at 100%. In this case, the aggregate score is 72.5, which is above the certification threshold of 71. Even though there are gaps within individual requirement statements, the Control Reference as a whole is performing above the threshold, meaning a CAP is not mandatory. However, the gaps must still be documented, and remediation may be encouraged, but they will not block certification. This policy ensures that CAPs are only required where deficiencies present material risk to certification.

Not so sure about that score being enough.

Wait, 72.5? That seems high for gaps.

From what I recall, if there are gaps, CAPs are usually needed regardless of the score, so I would lean towards "yes."

I'm a bit confused about the thresholds. Is 72.5 considered high enough to avoid CAPs?

I remember a practice question where a similar score led to a discussion about whether CAPs were necessary. I think it was a "yes" in that case.

I think CAPs might be required if there are gaps, but I'm not entirely sure how the aggregate score plays into that.

Ugh, these CAP vs. gap questions always trip me up. I'll have to really focus and take my time to work through the logic here. Hoping I can figure it out.

This looks straightforward. If the aggregate raw score is 72.5, that's below the threshold, so CAPs would not be required. I'm pretty sure I've got this one.

I'm a little confused on the difference between CAPs and gaps in this context. I'll need to refresh my memory on those concepts before I can confidently answer this.

Okay, I think I know how to approach this. The key is understanding the threshold for when CAPs are required based on the aggregate raw score. Let me work through that step-by-step.

Hmm, this one seems a bit tricky. I'll need to carefully review the details about CAP vs. gap decisions and how the aggregate raw score factors in.
