Although the risk assessment process can be done as a self-assessment, there is a facilitated service available for any Units that would like assistance from the OIT Security Risk and Compliance team.
If interested in this service, please submit a Security Risk and Compliance Service Request and choose “Facilitated Risk Assessment“.
The following is a general outline of the Facilitated Security Risk Assessment experience:

Responsibilities and Expectations during the service include:
