This guide contains everything you need to know about conducting an information security risk assessment questionnaire at your organization.
Isora GRC gives Pennsylvania’s executive agencies a single platform to operationalize the cybersecurity and governance standards defined under Pennsylvania Information Security Regulation and the Commonwealth’s Information Technology Policies (ITPs). Run assessments, track risks, and produce OA/OIT-ready reports all in one workspace.




























Under Pennsylvania Information Security Regulation, every executive agency must implement information security and risk management programs aligned to enterprise IT Policies (ITPs). But responsibility is distributed across the Office for Information Technology (OA/OIT), Delivery Centers, and agency Information Security Officers.
Without central systems, each group tracks assessments, risks, and vendor evidence in its own spreadsheets and shared drives creating visibility gaps that slow OA/OIT reviews and complicate audits.
Isora lets agencies launch structured assessments mapped to OA/OIT IT Policies and federal frameworks such as NIST CSF and NIST SP 800-53. Assign owners, track responses, and document remediation for each policy domain. The result is defensible evidence of compliance with Pennsylvania Information Security Regulation and a clear view of program maturity over time.
Isora's risk management workspace consolidates all cybersecurity and vendor risks in one register. Agencies can record likelihood, impact, and mitigation plans; link risks to assessments and controls; and track progress toward resolution. This connected register supports the Commonwealth's IT Risk Management Policy and Procurement Directive 2021-1 without manual tracking.
Isora helps agencies build a complete inventory of critical assets and data classifications defined by Commonwealth IT Policies. Each record links directly to related assessments and risks, giving teams a single source of truth for data classification and asset management compliance. This visibility streamlines OA/OIT audits and supports policy alignment without duplicate spreadsheets.
With Isora's Reports & Scorecards, agencies can produce summaries that align to the Commonwealth's Information Technology Policy frameworks. Reports combine assessments, risk registers, and inventories into clear exports for OA/OIT reviews and executive briefings. Leadership gains real-time visibility into program status and remediation progress.
Understand California’s SIMM 5300 compliance requirements with this complete 2025 guide. Learn what SIMM 5300 covers, who must comply, how it aligns with NIST SP 800-53, and how to streamline audits, certifications, and risk management.
All executive-branch agencies under the Governor’s jurisdiction must follow the Information Technology Policies (ITPs) issued by OA/OIT. These policies govern risk management, data security, incident response, and procurement across the Commonwealth. Independent offices and the legislative and judicial branches may voluntarily align.
Isora centralizes assessments, risk documentation, and program evidence so agencies can demonstrate alignment with OA/OIT policies. It maps controls to NIST frameworks, tracks mitigation actions, and produces audit-ready reports for OA/OIT review.
OA/OIT conducts scheduled and ad hoc reviews to validate implementation of required controls. Isora streamlines these reviews by organizing evidence in a single workspace that reflects risk posture and remediation progress in real time.
OA/OIT initiates an administrative Corrective Action Plan (CAP) process. Agencies must document remediation steps and report status until compliance is restored. Isora keeps all CAP records and evidence centralized for oversight and future audits.
Yes. Isora tracks vendor assessments, SOC reports, and contract controls to support the Commonwealth’s vendor risk requirements. Each vendor record links to associated assessments and risks, providing a complete view of third-party compliance.
The Commonwealth’s IT Policies draw from NIST CSF and NIST Special Publications 800-53 and 800-60. Isora includes these frameworks out of the box so agencies can assess once and report across both state and federal requirements without duplication.
