GRC FOR HITRUST ASSESSMENTS

HITRUST readiness, without the spreadsheet chase.

araseca is a self-hosted GRC tool for running HITRUST assessments. Everyone can see what's done, who owns what and what's late, without a status meeting to find out.

WHAT IT FIXES

Four things that make assessments painful.

  • Nobody can see progress.

    A live dashboard shows readiness, progress by domain, and what's overdue or unassigned. A PM board replaces the control-by-control status meeting.

  • Nobody's sure who owns what.

    Every control has named assignees. Due-date nudges escalate from heads-up to overdue and copy the manager. Controls with no owner escalate to the PM.

  • Evidence gets uploaded and no one notices.

    Uploads notify the reviewer and PM right away. Every file keeps its version history, and sending one back requires a note.

  • Populations and samples live in email.

    Check population dates, import the auditor's sample file, and get one sub-task per sampled item, right on the control.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Built around what assessors look for.

  • Evidence pre-flight.

    Flags common rejection reasons at upload: screenshots outside fieldwork, stale third-party reports, unreviewed policies and evidence that doesn't name its system.

  • Plain-English guides.

    Each requirement gets a guide your PM can edit, plus a glossary. Optional AI explains controls and gives evidence an advisory first read.

  • Evidence reuse.

    Link one file to many controls, with a separate review for each.

  • System coverage.

    A matrix shows which in-scope systems have evidence for each control.

  • Scoring and reports.

    Maturity scores, CAP and gap calculations, a readiness report with trend, and CSV exports.

  • Access and audit trail.

    Role-based access, permission-checked downloads and a searchable audit log.

GOOD TO KNOW

  • Scores are self-assessed estimates, and MyCSF stays authoritative. Measured and Managed levels are marked provisional for now.
  • No HITRUST content ships with araseca. You import your own licensed catalog.
  • araseca is independent, and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by HITRUST.
