Delivering Innovation: A Fully Integrated, Automated Approach to TPRM

The HITRUST TPRM XChange Application for ServiceNow enables organizations to seamlessly operationalize and integrate HITRUST's proven assessment and TPRM toolkit into the ServiceNow platform. It incorporates multiple industry innovations that increase the level of assurance while enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of third-party risk management across broad populations of third parties, including:

  • Cyber Threat-Adaptive Controls – Ensures relevance to emerging cyber threats, eliminating the need for additional, redundant questionnaires.
  • Broad, Traversable Assessment Portfolio – Provides low, moderate, and high-risk vendor assessments (e1, i1, r2), along with newly released AI Risk Management and AI Security assessments, all built from the highly recognized HITRUST Framework.
  • Proven Assurance Methodology – HITRUST's programs achieve the lowest breach rates among assessed entities, as highlighted in the 2024 HITRUST Trust Report.
  • Results Distribution System (RDS) – Enables seamless, detailed, and secure assessment results sharing into the ServiceNow platform enabling efficient and unmatched vendor control analysis.
  • Automated Control Inheritance – Reduces redundant assessments by allowing vendors to reuse validated security controls across assessments.

By embedding HITRUST's prescriptive, scalable, and highly reliable cybersecurity assurance into ServiceNow, the Assessment XChange eliminates inefficiencies through pre-built yet customizable, vendor lifecycle workflows from onboarding to renewal, along with automations and secure data integrations to make risk management actionable—at scale.
