Step 1

Start for Free

Our software is free to use – no payment information is required. Once you’ve met your limit of free assessments, extend your use by purchasing licenses based on the number of Users or the number of Areas you will be assessing.

Step 2

Purchase Licenses

How Many Users? Our Pricing is based on how many user accounts you will have or how many areas you will be assessing. Each User or Area to be assessed requires 1 license. An Area is anything that is the target of an assessment, such as a facility, supplier, client, etc. We provide quantity discounts on licenses.

Step 3

Select Content

Select your content libraries. This will be relevant to the type of assessment you’re performing, such as using our HIPAA library in a hospital security assessment or our ASIS library in a vendor physical security assessment. You can also upload any of your own content.

Step 4

Configure and Assess

Create specific users and assets. Once user accounts and assets are created, you can create/begin assessments. Do a preliminary assessment to see where risk lies and then create a custom report to see the data gathered from the assessment.

Self-Assessment Workflow

  • Stage 1 - Relevant asset or scope data (Organizational information, Criticality, Consequence, Threat Level, & Evaluation Criterial) is identified and entered into the RiskWatch application.
  • Stage 2 – Personnel that have the required knowledge of the organization’s processes, policies, and/or controls are identified and designated as Contacts in the application.
  • Stage 3 – Surveys access is distributed by the application via email to the Contacts identified in Stage 2 to evaluate the processes, policies, and or controls in place.
  • Stage 4 – Assessment is ready for analysis. Risk Scores are calculated based on Criticality, Consequence and Threat level from Stage 1 and a Gap Score based on the Survey results from Stage 3.
  • Stage 5 - Gaps are identified based on the survey results. Gap mitigation recommendations are given by the application Administrator.
  • Stage 6 – Remediation Tasks based on the Administrator’s recommendations (and/or recommendations provided by the Contacts) are assigned by the Administrator and managed by the application.
  • Stage 7 – Final Report is Generated by the application for review by Upper Management or Auditors.

Performing Mobile Assessments

Upload Your Own Survey Content

Using the upload template, you can add questions to the survey module that currently do not exist in the software. These can be from government regulations, industry standards, best practices, or your own policies. These can be easily added using your product’s bulk upload process where you simply fill in the details of your assessment questions into a spreadsheet template that is generated by the software. Then upload the file back into your RiskWatch platform.
Each question can be weighted so some can have a greater impact on your risk/compliance score than others. For example, your question asking if a facility has a perimeter fence may be weighted higher than your question asking if there is barbed wire at the top of the fence.
Questions are also mapped to vulnerabilities allowing you to determine where you where you are most vulnerable.
Using the Survey Roles and Facility Type filtering within the questions, you will be able to ensure that personnel only receive survey questions that are relevant to them and they are qualified to answer.
You can also customize the response types for each question. Standard responses include, yes/no, 1-10, control maturity level, text, file upload, and diary/journal response. Add your own custom forms and multiple choice response types.
Use the Control Standard field to give the survey respondent more clarity as to why the question is being asked, or give additional information about the regulation/standard/policy that the question refers to.
