Trayt Health’s behavioral health technology platform has earned 2026 HITRUST e1 Certification. The announcement affirms our ongoing commitment to the most rigorous security and privacy measures that protect patient health data.
Earning HITRUST e1 Certification means Trayt Health has now achieved key security and privacy certification. In late 2025 we completed our SOC 2 Type 2 audit. Alongside HITRUST and SOC 2, Trayt Health also complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and NIST SP 800-171 standards that govern how protected health information is stored, accessed, and shared across healthcare settings.
For behavioral health programs, health systems, and payors, trust in technology platforms requires confidence that patient and clinical data remains private and secure across care teams and disparate care entities. Our HITRUST e1 Certification confirms that Trayt Health’s behavioral health technology platform can effectively protect sensitive clinical and patient data.
Our current security posture:
- HITRUST e1 Certification: Validates a risk-based approach to critical healthcare cybersecurity and privacy controls
- SOC 2 Type 2: Validates that security controls operate effectively over time
- HIPAA: Protects patient health information across clinical and care coordination workflows
- NIST SP 800-171: Defines technical safeguards for protecting sensitive data in cloud-based healthcare systems
Below we outline in detail the rigorous process we follow to ensure our behavioral health software complies with all federal and state regulations around information sharing and protected health information.
Why HITRUST e1 Certification is important for health technology platforms
HITRUST e1 Certification is an assessment designed to help organizations demonstrate critical cybersecurity and privacy standards. HITRUST focuses on a core set of foundational controls aligned with leading standards such as HIPAA and NIST, providing a practical, risk-based approach to protecting sensitive health information. The HITRUST e1 assessment is standardized and independently validated.
HITRUST e1 Certification includes:
- Foundational security controls aligned with major regulatory and industry frameworks
- Risk-based requirements focused on the most critical threats to sensitive health data
- Standardized assessment criteria to ensure consistency and comparability across organizations
- Independent third-party validation by a HITRUST-authorized assessor
- Defined maturity levels to confirm controls are implemented and operating effectively
- Scalability for growing organizations, making it well-suited for modern healthcare and digital health companies
What SOC 2 Type 2 means for healthcare organizations
SOC 2 Type 2 is an internationally recognized framework for evaluating whether an organization’s data protection controls operate effectively over time. To meet this standard, every layer of the Trayt Health platform was assessed for:
SOC 2 Type 2 audit includes:
- Data security to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access
- System availability and reliability to ensure consistent, dependable performance
- Access controls and authentication to safeguard systems and user identities
- Secure data handling and operational processes to maintain integrity throughout the data lifecycle
Why HIPAA-compliance is foundational to clinical data platforms for behavioral health
HIPAA establishes national standards for safeguarding protected health information (PHI) in electronic systems. In behavioral health, data often flows between patients, caregivers, schools, primary care providers, and behavioral health specialists—making privacy and security essential across every care setting.
Trayt Health is fully HIPAA-compliant and maintains strict controls over how PHI is collected, stored, and accessed.
HIPAA-compliance includes:
- Role-based platform access to limit data visibility to authorized users
- Mandatory HIPAA training for all employees to reinforce privacy and security best practices
- Continuous monitoring of data flows and system activity to detect and respond to potential risks
- Clear audit trails to support accountability and ongoing compliance
What NIST 800-171 means for cloud-based health technology
NIST 800-171 is a federal security standard that defines how sensitive information must be protected within cloud-based systems. It is used across government, research, and healthcare environments to ensure secure data storage, transmission, and access.
NIST 800-171 includes:
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Continuous system monitoring
- Strict access controls and authorization policies
- Documented security controls aligned with federal standards
Built-in confidence that protected patient and clinical data will remain private and secure
Security and privacy are foundational to Trayt Health’s behavioral health platform. By aligning with HITRUST, SOC-2, HIPAA, and NIST, Trayt Health demonstrates a strong commitment to protecting sensitive health data, supporting regulatory requirements, and earning the trust of behavioral health clinicians, programs, health systems, and payor.
