Why Your SRA Is Critical
The Security Risk Assessment is the single most cited deficiency in OCR HIPAA audits. Every covered entity must conduct an SRA, but many small practices skip it because the process seems overwhelming. GuardWell makes it manageable.

What GuardWell Covers
Everything you need to manage security risk assessment in one platform.
Guided Risk Identification
Walk through risk categories systematically — administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Plain-language questions help you identify gaps without needing a consultant.
Risk Scoring Matrix
Each identified risk is scored by likelihood and impact. Visual risk heatmap shows your highest-priority items at a glance. Aligns with the NIST risk assessment framework.
AI Corrective Action Plans
For HIGH and CRITICAL risk items, GuardWell generates detailed remediation plans with specific steps, timelines, and responsible parties using AI. Review and apply with one click.
Remediation Tracking
Assign corrective actions to team members, set due dates, and track progress to completion. Your risk register stays current as you close gaps throughout the year.
Year-over-Year Comparison
Compare this year's SRA results against previous years to demonstrate continuous improvement — exactly what auditors want to see.
Audit-Ready PDF Reports
Export your complete SRA as a professional PDF including risk inventory, scoring, corrective actions, and remediation status. Ready for OCR audits, board reviews, or insurance requirements.
Corrective Action Tracking
Every NO/PARTIAL answer auto-creates a Risk Item that flows into the Corrective Action Plan register with owner, due date, and evidence uploads. Auditors see the closed-loop story from finding to remediation.
How It Works
Get compliant in three straightforward steps.
Start your SRA
Launch the guided risk assessment from the Risk Assessment module. Answer plain-language questions about your practice's administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
Score & prioritize risks
Review identified risks, assign likelihood and impact scores, and let AI generate corrective action plans for your highest-priority items.
Remediate & report
Assign corrective actions, track remediation progress, and export your complete SRA report as an audit-ready PDF. Set a reminder for next year's assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about security risk assessment.
Yes. The HIPAA Security Rule requires periodic risk assessments, and OCR interprets this as at least annually and whenever there are significant changes to your practice (new systems, new locations, etc.). A current SRA is the first thing auditors ask for.
Most small practices complete their initial SRA in 2-4 hours using GuardWell's guided workflow. Subsequent annual assessments go faster because previous answers carry forward and you only need to update what changed.
GuardWell's SRA includes guided questions, automatic risk scoring, AI-generated corrective action plans, built-in remediation tracking, year-over-year comparison, and professional PDF export — all integrated with your other compliance modules.
GuardWell provides the documentation side: upload pen-test reports and vulnerability-scan results to the Document Hub as evidence, log findings as Risk Items, and link remediation to the Corrective Action Plan register. The actual testing is done by an outside cybersecurity firm — GuardWell stores the reports and tracks the closeout so auditors see a complete program.
Yes. GuardWell stores historical SRA data and provides year-over-year comparison views. This lets you demonstrate continuous improvement to auditors by showing how your risk posture has improved and which corrective actions were completed between assessments.
Yes. SRA findings link directly to your policy library, training assignments, and the corrective-action register. When a risk item identifies a policy gap or training need, you can address it within GuardWell without switching tools, and your compliance score updates automatically.
