Philadelphia, PA – June 2, 2026 – HealthShare Exchange (HSX) today announced that its hosting systems and data integration tools have renewed their Certified status for information security from HITRUST.

The HITRUST r2 is considered the gold standard for information protection assurances because of the comprehensiveness of control requirements, depth of quality review, and consistency of oversight. It is globally recognized as a high-level validation that an organization successfully manages cyber risks.
