This guide contains everything you need to know about conducting an information security risk assessment questionnaire at your organization.
Isora GRC gives security teams one connected workspace to assess security practices against Arizona P8000 policies, collect supporting evidence, and track risks and remediation across systems and vendors.




























Meeting the P8000 series is difficult when system categorizations, System Security Plans, and POA&Ms live in separate spreadsheets and shared drives across Budget Units. When the State CISO requests current documentation, assembling it means gathering files that were never designed to connect.
Launch control assessments using prebuilt questionnaires aligned to the P8000 policy series and NIST SP 800-53 control families. Target Budget Unit departments, systems, and data repositories, and collect policies, configuration records, and access reviews inline so responses and proof stay connected. Recurring cycles cover the annual P8120 Information Security Program requirement.
Every system, application, and vendor record links to its assessments, risks, POA&Ms, and documentation, with business impact, control mappings, and policy alignment captured alongside it. System Security Plans draw on those same records, so an SSP reflects current posture as system records change, and annual categorization submissions start from an inventory that is already current.
Publish a control gap to the risk register and POA&M tracker as soon as an assessment identifies it. Every finding carries lineage back to the P8000 policy it maps to, the NIST 800-53 control it references, the assessment that surfaced it, and the system it applies to. Assign owners, set completion dates, and track progress while an append-only audit log records every decision.
Generate reports and scorecards that pull from live assessment scores, POA&M status, risk register entries, and inventory records to show control implementation, remediation progress, and program maturity across the Budget Unit. Drill into any metric to reach the assessment response behind it, and export packages for Budget Unit CIO approval and statewide oversight.

Everything you need to know about the State of Arizona’s P8000 Information Security Policy in one complete guide.
The P8000 series sets the statewide information security policy for Arizona Budget Units. Under P8120, Budget Units maintain an information security program, categorize their systems, document System Security Plans, track Plans of Action and Milestones, and submit statewide reporting on an annual cycle with quarterly updates. Isora GRC provides the assessment, inventory, POA&M, and reporting workflows to operationalize these requirements.
Isora includes prebuilt questionnaires mapped to NIST SP 800-53 control families, which underpin the P8000 control requirements. Budget Units can launch assessments without building templates from scratch, and every response links to the control it evaluates and the system it applies to.
System Security Plans draw on the same system records, assessments, and control implementations maintained in Isora. Because that data stays current, an SSP reflects present posture and updates as system architecture changes. Budget Unit CIOs approve a document that matches what the Budget Unit actually runs.
Assessment findings publish directly to the POA&M tracker with lineage to the policy, the control, the assessment, and the system involved. Budget Units assign owners, set completion dates, and track remediation progress in one view, and leadership sees open deficiencies and overdue items without requesting a separate report.
Isora deploys in weeks with no-code setup and prebuilt questionnaire templates. Budget Units can usually run a first control assessment without months of configuration.
