HITRUST CSF AWS Hardened Images

Apollo helps teams define the exact AWS image and configuration being evaluated while HITRUST CSF work addresses the broader control environment, scope, evidence, and assurance process.

Responsibility boundary:Apollo images are not HITRUST certified and do not make a workload certifiable. Assessment scope, control implementation, evidence, validation, and certification decisions remain outside the product.
HITRUST evaluation

Use the exact image to ask better implementation questions.

01
Define assessment scope

Identify the systems, facilities, services, people, and third parties in scope before assigning control responsibility to the image.

02
Link configuration to controls

Document which image settings support specific requirements and which safeguards are implemented elsewhere in the environment.

03
Prepare evidence deliberately

Retain product records, configuration outputs, tests, exceptions, approvals, and operating evidence suitable for the chosen assurance process.
