HITRUST Certification Preparation Case Study

This case study details the experience of Coriell Life Sciences as it prepared for HITRUST certification under the direction of Kevin Livelsberger, the director of security and compliance. The company, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, specializes in precision medicine and faced the challenge of ensuring that its AWS operating environment met the necessary compliance standards, including HIPAA. To address these needs, Coriell partnered with nClouds, which conducted a Well-Architected Framework Review to assess security risks and vulnerabilities in their AWS infrastructure. The review resulted in a comprehensive security posture roadmap that ensured compliance with AWS best practices. Within 60 days, Coriell's architecture was fully aligned with these standards, significantly reducing the time and effort required for compliance work. Ultimately, Coriell successfully passed its HITRUST certification and secured three new contracts worth millions of dollars, demonstrating the effectiveness of the collaboration with nClouds.
