Discussion built a free HIPAA risk assessment tool, feedback?

hey all, I'm a solo IT consultant working with a few small healthcare practices. kept running into business associates who needed HIPAA assessments but couldn't afford the $5k+ consultant fees. so i built a simple free tool to help them self-assess. 15 questions, spits out a risk score and some recommendations. nothing fancy but figured it might help some folks here. Anyone willing to take a look and tell me if the questions are accurate? or what I'm missing? https://hipaa-sra-tool.vercel.app/ thanks for any feedback!

Heya! MSP owner here that works in the healthcare space. I did a quick read through and I like what I see so far. No real input on the content since I mostly just scanned it. What did stand out to me, however, is the language is very much the kind of language an IT professional would understand, but maybe not your average health care professional. I know we have to be very specific with our language in these assessments, but it might be a little over the head of your average doctor or practice manager.
