At SpendMend, we’ve always believed that protecting sensitive data is foundational—not optional. Healthcare organizations trust us to handle their most critical information across pharmacy, finance, supply chain, and more. That trust demands more than promises. It demands proof.
That’s why I’m proud to share that SpendMend has officially achieved HITRUST i1 Certification across our core platforms—including Analytics, Rebate Insight, Medical Device Warranty Tracking, Trulla Procurement, and more.
Here’s why that matters.
- It Validates Our Security—Not Just on Paper, But in Practice
HITRUST i1 isn’t a rubber stamp. It’s a rigorous, threat-adaptive certification that confirms we’ve implemented the right safeguards across our systems. It proves we’re not only meeting—but exceeding—industry standards for protecting data in a modern threat environment.
The certification process includes a deep review of controls like access management, encryption, incident response, and more. It’s independent validation that we’re doing the right things to secure sensitive information—day in and day out.
- It Supports Regulatory Compliance, Including HIPAA
As a partner to hundreds of hospitals and IDNs, we know how vital compliance is. The HITRUST framework is mapped directly to healthcare regulations, especially HIPAA. Our certification gives clients confidence that when they work with us, they’re aligned with best practices—and reducing their own regulatory risk.
It’s one more way we help remove friction and streamline compliance across the healthcare ecosystem.
- It Strengthens Trust—With Everyone
We don’t take it lightly that hospitals rely on us to manage data that touches patient care. HITRUST i1 Certification sends a clear message: Your data is in good hands.
It also builds trust internally—among our developers, our product leaders, and our executive team. Security is a shared commitment across every corner of our business. This certification proves that alignment.
And finally, it matters to our partners, especially those evaluating vendors or requiring third-party validation. HITRUST is increasingly a baseline requirement across healthcare—and for good reason.
- It Keeps Us Ahead of Evolving Cyber Threats
Threats in healthcare are always changing. Ransomware, phishing, insider risk—every year brings new tactics and vulnerabilities. What I like about HITRUST i1 is that it evolves with those threats.
The control set is reviewed and updated quarterly, which means we’re not certified based on last year’s risks—we’re validated against today’s challenges.
- It’s Scalable for Our Growth—and Yours
As we continue to grow and support new clients and systems, we need a framework that can grow with us. HITRUST i1 is scalable across platforms, technologies, and organizational structures. That makes it the right certification for where we are today—and where we’re headed tomorrow.
Final Thought
Earning HITRUST i1 Certification was a team effort across our information security, development, compliance, and product teams. It reflects our culture of accountability and our commitment to doing things the right way.
In an industry where trust is everything, this certification isn’t just a milestone—it’s a signal of how seriously we take our role in healthcare. We’re proud to have earned it. And we’re just getting started.
