Conducting a Risk Assessment Guide
Objectives
The intention of this document is to help the business conduct a Risk Assessment, which identifies current risks and threats to the business and implement measures to eliminate or reduce those potential risks. This document provides guidance on how to conduct the Risk Assessment, analyze the information that is collected, and implement strategies that will allow the business to manage the risk. The following documents are available to help the business complete the assessment:
- Risk Assessment Template
- Risk Assessment Worksheet
- Facility RA Findings Report
- Executive RA Findings Report
- Examples of Preventative Measures
The Risk Assessment is only part one of an overall Business Assessment. A Business Assessment is separated into two constituents, Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis (BIA). The Risk Assessment is intended to measure present vulnerabilities to the business’s environment, while the Business Impact Analysis evaluates probable loss that could result during a disaster. To maximize the Risk Assessment, a Business Impact Analysis should also be completed.

OBJECTIVE
Due to HIPAA Security Rule regulations, your organization must implement Contingency Planning Practices to ensure the protection of ePHI (electronic Protected Health Information). In order to accomplish this undertaking, there are several steps that your organization will be completing to identify critical business functions, processes and applications that process ePHI and to understand the potential impact to the business if a disruptive event occurred.
One of the first steps of implementing the Contingency Program for your organization is to conduct a Risk Assessment (RA). This questionnaire will help you to identify the current risks and threats to the business and implement measures to eliminate or reduce those potential risks. Once the survey is completed, the RA Project team will analyze the data and create prioritized risk reduction (mitigation) strategies to present to senior management.
