The Information Security Office Risk Assessment (ISORA) is a university wide risk assessment of Information Security to comply with State regulations. The state and the university administration require the university to undergo an annual assessment of the university's information resources and measure the risk to those resources. This process helps identify the security of systems with sensitive data.
