What is the minimum number of days an organization must wait before a remediated requirement...

In an i1 assessment, remediated controls must demonstrate sustained effectiveness before being retested. HITRUST requires a minimum of 90 days between remediation and reconsideration of the Implemented maturity level. This waiting period ensures that corrective actions are not only implemented but also consistently applied over time. For example, if patch management processes were deficient and then corrected, HITRUST wants to see proof that the new process has been followed successfully across multiple cycles. Immediate or short-term remediation is insufficient, as it may not show durability. This rule reinforces HITRUST’s focus on operational maturity and real-world assurance, preventing organizations from implementing “point-in-time fixes” just to pass assessments.
