Security Risk Assessments
Security Risk Assessments
Overview of SRAs
A security risk assessment (SRA) is a process to identify, assess, and mitigate any security risks within an organization. This assessment focuses both on cybersecurity and physical security risks. The SRA typically results in a detailed report on different risk categories and an action list to mitigate any security vulnerabilities.
Aside from the practical sense of protecting an organization, many regulations require organizations to conduct regular security assessments. For example, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule requires that covered entities (CEs) and business associates (BAs) conduct a risk assessment of their healthcare organization every year.

Our SRA Process
We follow a rigorous, proven methodology using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and the HIPAA Security Rule to evaluate the maturity of the organization’s information security program while conducting your Security Risk Assessment. Our process will analyze your program and will include interviews with technical and operational resources to develop a more complete view of your organization’s security risk profile:
Review
Review policies, procedures, previous security reports, etc., to determine the security controls, processes and technology solutions in place to protect ePHI.
Assessment
Assess onsite and/or remote work, including stakeholder interviews and visual inspection. Inspection includes looking for security controls and unsecured materials.
Gap Analysis
Analyze current security measures to determine if these controls, processes and technology solutions are aligned with the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule’s administrative, physical and technical safeguards..
Risk Analysis
Document gaps in controls, processes and technology solutions using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as guidance . We will also recommend potential safeguards and solutions to reduce the risks we identify, prioritizing findings in terms of likelihood of occurrence and impact.
Report
Report findings in a comprehensive report that documents our methodologies, summary of data collected, findings with a scoring model and recommendations.
