This Quick Start deploys a model environment on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud that can help organizations with workloads that fall within the scope of the Health Information Trust Alliance Common Security Framework (HITRUST-CSF). Its architecture maps to certain technical requirements imposed by HITRUST controls.

The Quick Start includes AWS CloudFormation templates to automate building a baseline architecture that fits within your organization’s larger HITRUST program. It also includes a security controls reference, which maps HITRUST controls to architecture decisions, features, and configuration of the baseline.

This Quick Start is for health IT infrastructure architects, administrators, compliance professionals, and DevOps professionals who plan to implement or extend HITRUST workloads to the AWS Cloud. It's part of a set of AWS compliance offerings, which provide security-focused architecture solutions to help Managed Service Providers (MSPs), cloud provisioning teams, developers, integrators, and information security teams follow strict security, compliance, and risk management controls.

For architectural details, best practices, step-by-step instructions, and customization options, see the deployment guide.
