This investment will support HITRUST’s continued expansion and innovation in cybersecurity and information risk assurance amid growing global concerns about cyber threats and regulatory compliance. HITRUST will continue to be led by CEO Daniel Nutkis, and the organization’s mission and strategy remain the same. The investment will support HITRUST’s continued expansion internationally, into new verticals and product areas.

The investment will also be used to bolster its newer, market-leading innovations in continuous assurance through its cyber threat-adaptive engine, third-party risk management through its Assessment Xchange and ServiceNow integration, and its industry leading AI Risk Management and Security Assessments.
“We are thrilled to welcome Brighton Park Capital as a strategic partner,” said Mr. Nutkis. “Their investment and industry expertise will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and expand our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our clients and the broader cybersecurity landscape. Together, we will drive forward our mission to provide comprehensive, certifiable cybersecurity frameworks that set the industry standard.”
“The threat-landscape is rapidly evolving, and organizations and their key stakeholders are looking for assurance of rigorous cyber controls that adapt to these changes,” said Tim Drager, Partner at Brighton Park. “HITRUST is a uniquely credible, neutral standards-setter in cybersecurity – a position earned through rigorous controls, proven effectiveness, and a commitment to continuous improvement far ahead of other standards.”
