The HITRUST Audio Course is a complete, audio-first guide to mastering the HITRUST i1 and r2 frameworks—two of the most widely recognized models for integrated risk and compliance management. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned professionals, this course translates complex assurance requirements into clear, plain-language lessons you can absorb on the go. Each episode walks through the structure and intent of the HITRUST frameworks, explaining how controls, maturity levels, and evidence requirements come together to create a unified, auditable security program.
Listeners gain practical insight into how to implement and maintain HITRUST controls across domains such as access management, risk assessment, incident response, and third-party assurance. The series explores the lifecycle of certification—from readiness assessments and evidence collection to assessor engagement and corrective action tracking—helping you understand what auditors look for and how to demonstrate continuous compliance. Through step-by-step narration, the course shows how HITRUST builds trust by harmonizing multiple frameworks, including NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, into one cohesive model.

Implement effective cybersecurity measures that work in real organizations, not just on paper. In an era where every business depends on connected systems, the challenge is no longer knowing that controls matter, it’s knowing which controls to deploy, how to deploy them correctly, and how to keep them effective as threats and environments change. The Cybersecurity Control Playbook is built to turn cybersecurity intent into repeatable execution, helping teams protect sensitive data, maintain system integrity, and support privacy without getting lost in jargon or theory.
With balanced coverage of both foundational and advanced topics, the book provides a step-by-step approach to developing, deploying, monitoring, testing, and retiring controls across organizations of all sizes. It emphasizes practical implementation, using concrete examples to show what “good” looks like in day-to-day operations, and how to avoid the common failure modes that cause controls to degrade over time. The goal is a living control program that stays aligned to real risk, real assets, and real business constraints.
Readers will also find clear, accessible language; structured guidance for using control frameworks in large, mid-sized, and small environments; and a system for identifying, prioritizing, and managing cyber risk using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, alongside discussion of other major cybersecurity frameworks. The Cybersecurity Control Playbook is ideal for cybersecurity practitioners, IT professionals, and security managers responsible for implementing and managing cybersecurity strategies and the controls that make those strategies measurable and effective.
