Free Tools for Risk Assessment

If you are charged with maintaining the technical aspects of compliance for your organization, while the tasks can be overwhelming, there are tools provided by agencies that can help.

I’m going to offer two easy ones today. For HIPAA, you can download a free Security Risk Assessment Tool from HealthIT.gov. It helps you track the requirements and even saves your progress. This is very handy.

Defense.gov offers a workbook with several tabs covering all of the requirements, so if you’re having difficulties tracking and don’t want to start over from scratch, download the free workbook.
