The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)
recognizes that conducting a risk assessment can be a challenging task.
That’s why ONC, in collaboration with the HHS Office for Civil Rights
(OCR) and the HHS Office of the General Counsel (OGC), developed a
downloadable SRA Tool [.exe - 66 MB] to
help guide you through the process. This tool is not required by the
HIPAA Security Rule, but is meant to assist providers and professionals
as they perform a risk assessment.
The SRA Tool is a self-contained, operating system (OS) independent
application that can be run on various environments including Windows
OS’s for desktop and laptop computers and Apple’s iOS for iPad only. The
iOS SRA Tool application for iPad, available at no cost, can be
downloaded from Apple’s App StoreWeb Site Disclaimers.
For details on how to use the tool, download the SRA Tool User Guide [PDF - 4 MB].
A paper-based version of the tool is also available:
