Sensitive Data Self-assessments

Well - interesting morning - I just returned from an ad-hoc meeting with
Student Affairs.  They were asked by their VP if what is happening with the
VA data could happen to them.  And the answer is -maybe.  So, they want to
protect their information, but they need to find out what's out there, and
do awareness training.  They would really like a risk assessment,
self-assessment type instrument that would supply them with the information
they want to collect, and also be a tool to educate their users.  Anybody's
organization have anything they would be willing to share?  They want to see
others because while I think we covered most data (SSN, Bank Accounts,
FERPA, Police, Grades, Drivers License, Student Health) they want to make
sure they haven't missed something important.

Thanks for any help.
