For r2 Validated Assessments, certification requires meeting HITRUST's minimum scoring thresholds across all applicable areas (commonly #62.5%). If any domain (or required control reference/requirement) falls below the threshold (e.g., <61 or <62.5 as applicable), the assessment cannot be certified and will be issued as a Validated Report without Certification.
"If any required scoring area is below the minimum threshold, the outcome is a Validated Report without Certification until deficiencies are remediated." [HITRUST CSF Assurance Program - Certification Criteria,
