sed or awk to convert text files with recurring headings to rows and colum

I have many text file reports generated by a Information Assurance tool that I need to get into a .CSV format or Excel tab delimited format. I want to use sed or awk to grab all the information in the sample text file below and create column headings:Risk ID, Risk Level, Category, Description, How To Fix, Affected Machines, Then I want to populate the cells(or fields?) with the data seen below. I think I can do this by grabbing everything between 2 of the heading strings, e.g: grab everything between Risk Level & Category: and add that to Risk Level field, then grab everything between Category and Description and add to Category value in Category column.

Problem ID: 3454
Risk Level: Low
Category: Accounts
Description: Local user account does not require a password.
How To Fix: To disable the allowance of blank password, change the following registry key: HKLM:System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LimitBlankPasswordUse Set value to DWORD=1
Affected Machines: Student001 student0057 student6745.

Problem ID: 433
Risk Level: Med
Category: DoS
Description: Microsoft SynAttackProtect
How To Fix: Set: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\SynAttackProtect registry value to 1 (better protection) or 2 (best protection).
Affected Machines: Student021 student0032 student67.
Problem ID: 3454

Risk Level: High
Category: Miscellaneous
Description: Apple QuickTime 7.1.6 Update - Windows
How To Fix: Update to version 7.1.6 or later of QuickTime.
Affected Machines: Student011 student00907 student45.

Here is where I need to be:
