The Healthcare Zero Trust Maturation Model (HC-ZTMM), developed by the Alliance for Smart Healthcare Excellence with support from Zscaler Healthcare, is a free, vendor-neutral executive survey that helps health systems benchmark how well Zero Trust is embedded across governance, infrastructure, operational resilience, and experience assurance.
What Is the Healthcare Zero Trust Maturation Model (HC-ZTMM)?
HC-ZTMM provides a structured maturity profile that translates Zero Trust from a technical concept into an operating model: how decisions are governed, how systems stay resilient, and how trust is continuously validated across users, devices, applications, and data.
Unlike technology-centric checklists, HC-ZTMM measures organizational readiness and execution, recognizing that Zero Trust in healthcare is as much an operating model as it is a security architecture.
