This can be a daunting task, but it must be done to identify weaknesses and the threats they present.

If someone need audit for the security risk assessment, they have to check the below list and make sure all items list has the asset items ID, impact ratio value, vulnerability, and risk rate for the mitigation. 
That information has to include people, procedures, data, software, hardware and networking elements for classifying and categorizing assets to the organization’s risk management program.
The classification worksheet is useful to refer to the information collected to help assess a value for an asset.
Also, she needs the weighted factor analysis worksheet for the list the assets in order of importance.
Another source of worksheet is TVA (Threats-Vulnerabilities-Assets) that preparation for the addition of vulnerability and control information during risk assessment.
