ISO 27001 and HiTrust

You can use ISO 27001 framework to partially support HITRUST controls implementation, maintenance, and improvement (i.e., ISO 27001 does not cover the whole HITRUST).

ISO 27001 involves the implementation of a high-level information security management system, while HITRUST involves detailed requirements and controls for the secure creation, access, storage, and exchange of sensitive and/or regulated data.
