It depends on your starting point. A gap assessment against HITRUST CSF is usually a few weeks; closing the gaps and standing up the evidence takes longer and is where most of the work sits. Because Lavawall® is already collecting the technical evidence while we work, you do not restart from zero at reassessment.
