A Readiness Assessment Report is self-assessment–based and prepared with or without an assessor to help organizations identify control gaps.
The highest level of assurance is provided by a Validated Assessment Report, which undergoes external assessor validation and HITRUST quality assurance.
Therefore, a readiness assessment does not provide the highest level of assurance.
Extract Reference (HITRUST Assurance Program Guidance [0019]):
Readiness Assessments help identify gaps but do not provide certification or the highest level of assurance; only validated assessments do.
