Summary

HITRUST has announced that effective August 22, 2025, all new e1 and i1 assessments must be created using CSF v11.6.0. Existing assessments using v11.5.1 can still be submitted, with a future deadline to be announced.

What changed

HITRUST has mandated that as of August 22, 2025, all new e1 and i1 assessments, including i1 rapid assessments, must be created using the HITRUST CSF v11.6.0 framework. This change disables the creation of new assessments using the older v11.5.1 version within the MyCSF platform.

Organizations currently using CSF v11.5.1 for existing e1 and i1 assessments will still be able to submit them after the August 22, 2025 deadline. However, HITRUST will provide at least 90 days' notice before establishing a final submission deadline for assessments created with versions v11.0.0 through v11.5.1. Compliance officers should ensure their teams are aware of this transition and begin creating new assessments with v11.6.0.

What to do next

  1. Ensure all new e1 and i1 assessments are created using HITRUST CSF v11.6.0 from August 22, 2025.
  2. Monitor for future announcements regarding the submission deadline for existing assessments using older versions (v11.0.0 - v11.5.1).
