Healthcare Zero Trust Maturity Model

The Healthcare Zero Trust Maturity Model (HC-ZTMM) is an industry-developed framework that helps healthcare organizations assess cybersecurity capabilities, benchmark maturity, and create prioritized roadmaps for adopting zero-trust principles.

A healthcare-specific framework

Model overview

HC-ZTMM enables leaders to strengthen security across identities, data, clinical technologies, infrastructure, and user experience—without losing sight of the workflows that support patient care.

HC-ZTMM framework with four domains and their subdomains

Four connected domains

Security maturity built around healthcare

Trust Foundation and Access Control

Governs who or what can access organizational resources and under what evolving conditions. It integrates identity verification, credential lifecycle management, and adaptive authorization to create a continuous trust fabric.

Data Trust and Intelligence Governance

Addresses how data and AI systems are discovered, classified, protected, and governed. It supports information integrity, privacy, and compliance while extending zero-trust principles to AI model management.

Secure Infrastructure Fabric

Enforces identity-centric, least-privilege connectivity across clinical systems, devices, and workloads. It helps prevent lateral movement, maintain operational continuity, and establish a resilient foundation for care delivery.

Resilient Experience and Continuous Assurance

Ensures zero-trust security strengthens rather than obstructs clinical and operational workflows. It combines risk telemetry, usability feedback, and performance analytics to sustain reliable, secure, clinician-friendly environments.
