Introduction
Turn your completed HHS SRA 3.6 into a measurable cyber risk profile. From HIPAA worksheet to NIST CSF scoring, in minutes.
Bob Vescio, Chief Innovation Officer of X-Analytics, walks through an agent in the X-Analytics AI Toolbox: the SRA 3.6 (HIPAA) Upload agent.
What it does
The SRA 3.6 (HIPAA) Upload agent is an AI agent in the X-Analytics AI Toolbox that takes the HIPAA security rule work your organization has already completed in the HHS-issued SRA 3.6 worksheet and turns it into a NIST CSF 2.0 informed profile inside X-Analytics.
You upload your completed SRA file, and the agent translates every answer into the 0 to 5 NIST CSF scale, surfaces the delta against your current profile, and lets you decide whether to apply the new scoring.
It works with the official Health and Human Services SRA 3.6 tool, the same worksheet HHS instructs healthcare organizations to use when implementing the HIPAA security rule.
How it works
You open the agent, click Upload SRA Results, and select your completed SRA 3.6 file. From there, the agent:
- Reads all seven sections of the SRA and confirms every question was answered, with an integrity check on the file.
- Translates SRA answers into NIST CSF 2.0 scoring using the alignment HHS has already published between the two.
- Re-maps legacy CSF 1.1 references (for example, PR.MA from the older framework now maps to PR.PS in CSF 2.0), so nothing is lost in translation.
- Shows the scoring logic transparently, so you see how every SRA answer becomes a NIST CSF score.
- Returns a side-by-side view: SRA-informed score, current profile score, and the delta for every category and subcategory.
You then choose whether to update your profile with the SRA-informed scores.
What you walk away with
- A NIST CSF 2.0 informed profile built from the HIPAA work your team has already done
- Score-by-score visibility into where the SRA changes your profile and by how much
- Automatic CSF 2.0 alignment, including cleanup of any legacy CSF 1.1 references in the SRA
- A connected cyber risk profile, so every downstream exposure value, mitigation decision, and risk transfer analysis reflects your HIPAA work
What used to require manual translation between HHS scoring and NIST CSF now happens in minutes, with full transparency.

Frequently asked questions
What is the X-Analytics SRA 3.6 (HIPAA) Upload agent?
The SRA 3.6 (HIPAA) Upload agent is an AI agent inside the X-Analytics AI Toolbox that ingests your completed HHS SRA 3.6 file and translates your HIPAA security rule responses into NIST CSF 2.0 scoring on the 0 to 5 scale, so the work you've done for HIPAA informs your full cyber risk profile in X-Analytics.
What is SRA 3.6?
SRA 3.6 is the Security Risk Assessment tool issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help healthcare organizations implement the HIPAA security rule. The tool contains seven sections of questions, and HHS publishes the mapping between SRA answers and NIST CSF categories.
Does the agent work with NIST CSF 2.0?
Yes. The agent maps SRA 3.6 answers to NIST CSF 2.0 on the 0 to 5 maturity scale, including the updated category structure. Any legacy CSF 1.1 references in the SRA (for example, PR.MA) are automatically re-mapped to the corresponding CSF 2.0 category.
