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 operationalize the Wisconsin IT Security Policy and Standards Handbooks, with control assessments mapped to NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 baselines, connected system and vendor inventories, POA&M tracking with assigned owners, and the bi-annual DET reporting produced from that same record, all in one place.




























Documenting control implementation, POA&Ms, and vendor assessments is difficult when each one lives in a separate spreadsheet or shared drive. Evidence ends up fragmented, which slows remediation and leaves gaps in the audit record DET expects.
Launch control assessments using prebuilt questionnaires aligned to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5. Wisconsin agencies implement Low and Moderate baselines as a minimum, with High controls where regulated data applies, so questionnaires can be scoped to systems handling IRS 1075, HIPAA, or CJIS information. Collect evidence inline and set recurring cycles across departments.
Link every system, application, and vendor record to its assessments, risks, POA&Ms, and documentation. Run Standard 240 third-party provider oversight in the same workspace, with vendor assessments, security attestations, and monitoring records connected to the systems each provider supports. Scope a new assessment by filtering on system boundary, data classification, or department.
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 NIST 800-53 control it maps to, the assessment that surfaced it, and the system it applies to. Assign owners, set deadlines, and track progress while an append-only audit log records every decision for leadership review.
Generate reports that pull from live assessment scores, POA&M status, risk register entries, and system inventories to show control status, baseline coverage, and remediation progress across Wisconsin's policy domains. Drill into any metric to reach the assessment response behind it, and export packages ready for DOA and DET review and statewide oversight.

Everything you need to know about the State of Wisconsin’s updated IT Security Standards, compliance requirements, and implementation.
Wisconsin executive agencies implement security controls based on NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, maintain Plans of Action and Milestones for open deficiencies, document third-party provider oversight, and report to the Department of Administration and Department of Enterprise Technology on a bi-annual cycle across the state’s policy domains. Isora GRC provides the assessment, inventory, POA&M, and reporting workflows to operationalize these requirements.
Agencies implement Low and Moderate baselines as a minimum, with additional High baseline controls for regulated data including IRS 1075, HIPAA, and CJIS information. Isora supports assessments against each baseline, and questionnaires can be scoped to the systems where regulated data applies.
Isora consolidates assessment results, risk register entries, POA&M status, and system inventories into reports aligned to Wisconsin’s policy domains. Because the data is live, agencies generate a submission showing control status, remediation progress, and baseline coverage without assembling it from separate files.
Isora maintains a vendor inventory with linked security questionnaires, attestations, and monitoring records, and each vendor record connects to the systems and risks it relates to. Vendor findings land in the same risk register as internal findings.
Isora supports NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, NIST CSF, and NIST SP 800-37, along with the federal requirements Wisconsin agencies encounter including HIPAA, IRS 1075, CJIS, and MARS-E. All of them share the same workspace, inventories, and risk register.
