DirectTrust is a trusted brand that aims to establish trust in healthcare by accrediting organizations that adhere to policies and industry best practices. Their accreditation programs, which previously focused on Direct Secure Messaging, have expanded to include over 20 different programs since their merger with the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC) in 2023. DirectTrust offers a range of accreditation services, including Accountable Care Organizations, Certificate Authorities, e-Prescribing, Health Information Exchanges, and more.

These programs ensure compliance, promote interoperability, and demonstrate policy adherence. By becoming accredited, organizations can participate in the DirectTrust Trust Bundle, ensuring interoperability with other accredited entities and mitigating the risk of PHI exchange. DirectTrust operates Accreditation programs for Health Information Service Providers (HISPs), Certificate Authorities (CAs), and Registration Authorities (RAs).

Accreditation criteria include maintaining a HIPAA Privacy and Security Accreditation or Certification and operating in conformance with DirectTrust community standards. Trust, interoperability, and policy adherence are at the core of DirectTrust's mission, making them a reliable partner in the healthcare industry
