SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Organizes and orchestrates HIPAA/NIST 800-53 control interviews, converting complex compliance requirements into a repeatable, evidence-driven workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided, one-control-at-a-time interview flow for NIST 800-53 controls (SA-9, RA-3, AT-2, etc.).
  • Dynamic question generation derived from the official NIST assessment method with step-by-step evidence recording in a local comply-db (SQLite).
  • Progress tracking and easy handoff to audit packets, with support for vendor risk, risk assessment, and training controls.

Quick Start

Start the comply-assess interview workflow and begin assessing controls one at a time using the built-in prompts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct NIST 800-53 control interviews for HIPAA compliance?

NIST 800-53 control interviews for HIPAA compliance are conducted using a guided, one-control-at-a-time workflow that dynamically generates questions from the official NIST assessment method and records evidence directly to a local SQLite database.

Can I use this workflow to collect evidence for vendor risk management controls like SA-9?

Yes, you can collect evidence for vendor risk management controls like SA-9. The workflow applies to a broad set of interview-only NIST 800-53 controls, including vendor risk, risk assessment (RA-3), and training (AT-2) controls.

Do I need a specific database setup to store HIPAA assessment evidence?

Yes, you need a local comply-db store built on SQLite to save HIPAA assessment evidence. The environment also requires Bash to execute the interview workflow and manage the evidence recording process.

What is the best way to track progress across multiple HIPAA compliance interviews?

The best way to track progress across HIPAA compliance interviews is using a guided workflow that processes one control at a time, recording responses in SQLite and providing progress tracking for easy handoff to audit packets.

How are compliance interview questions generated for each NIST control?

Compliance interview questions are dynamically derived from the official NIST assessment method for each specific control. They are delivered sequentially via user prompts to ensure accurate, step-by-step evidence collection.

Are there limitations to using guided interviews for HIPAA evidence collection?

A limitation is that this guided HIPAA evidence collection workflow only applies to interview-only NIST 800-53 controls. It requires Bash and a local SQLite database, meaning controls requiring technical testing or automated scanning are not covered.
