Maps to 2 controls in 1 other framework
| Framework | Control |
|---|---|
| HITRUST CSF v11 | 01.d.01 Password policy meets organizational complexity and lifetime requirements |
| 01.d.02 Initial passwords are issued securely and must be changed at first use |
Mappings are CMDash’s own, seeded with the product and shown on both frameworks they connect. In the product they mean evidence you attach here also counts against the controls listed above.
Integrations that carry evidence for this family
These connectors produce data relevant to HIPAA Security Rule’s Administrative Safeguards family, which is the granularity CMDash publishes — there is no pre-built per-control mapping, and claiming one would be inventing it. You decide which evidence answers which control.
In CMDash this control is a row with an owner, a status, uploaded evidence kept with its full history, and an export an assessor can read.
