HIPAA Security Rule Multi-Framework Crosswalk

Map every HIPAA Security Rule citation to NIST SP 800-66r2, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, NIST CSF 2.0, HITRUST CSF, and the HHS HIPAA SRA Tool, in plain language and with help text, all in one place.

What’s Inside

  • All 70 HIPAA Security Rule Citations, in order: Read every provision across §164.308 Administrative, §164.310 Physical, §164.312 Technical, §164.314 Organizational, and §164.316 Policies, Procedures & Documentation, including the regulatory text, a plain-language assessment question, and help text.
  • Framework Mappings Per Citation: Map each row to NIST SP 800-66r2, NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, NIST CSF 2.0, HITRUST CSF v11.5.0, and the HHS HIPAA SRA Tool v3.5 — at the individual-citation level. Where no direct mapping exists the cell carries an em dash rather than a guess.
  • Required vs Addressable: See which implementation specifications are labeled as Required or Addressable in every Description. Remember, addressable is not optional — §164.306(d)(3) requires orgs to implement it, implement an equivalent measure, or document why it isn’t reasonable and appropriate, and to keep that documentation.
  • Built to Assess: Use it as the baseline for a risk analysis, a gap assessment, or to support the documentation §164.316(b) requires retention of for six years.
