Report Templates Tailored to Your Organization

The Assessments Module in PlexTrac allows you to build assessments based on any variety of needs. While framework-based assessments (i.e. CMMC, NIST, CIS) are commonplace in the industry, the Assessments Module can also be used to build assessments for scoping, third party attestation, and more.

How to Maximize Assessments in PlexTrac

GRC practitioners will find the flexibility and efficiency in developing custom questionnaires, conducting assessments, and exporting reports that PlexTrac provides a simple solution for their use case.

Step 1: Define Questions per Governing Framework

In the Assessments Module, choose the framework you’d like to use.

Within an assessment you have the ability to define each individual question according to the governing document that you’ve chosen or for general information gathering.

Step 2: Mask and Customize Report Content

Because each assessment ultimately turns into a PlexTrac report, you can also include data that won’t be viewed during the assessment but will be present in the report. This includes candid recommendations, references, and even custom fields for any other information you’d like to attach to this question for report writing.

Step 3: Track Status and Attach Evidence

Once an Assessment has begun you can track the status of both individual questions and the overall report.

While taking the assessment, you will see all of the answer types, input fields, and general details around the question that you’ve defined.

For each question in the assessment, you also have the ability to attach any relevant files to the specific question, including actual copies of written policy and screen shots of collected evidence. All of this information is passed on to the final report for further analysis, record keeping, and attestation.
