Compliance Assessment Services

A compliance assessment covers your policies, procedures, technical controls, and operational practices evaluated against the requirements of a specific regulation or framework. We gather documentation, run structured interviews with control owners, perform hands-on control testing, map your data flows, and evaluate your evidence library. The output is a gap register, a risk register, and a prioritised remediation roadmap. The precise scope depends on the target framework and the systems included, which we agree with you at the scoping kickoff.

We assess against GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type I and Type II, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CCPA, FERPA, FedRAMP, and a range of sector-specific regulations. Many organisations need coverage across multiple frameworks simultaneously, so we map controls across them in a single engagement to avoid duplicated effort when obligations overlap. If your target framework is not in this list, contact us and we will confirm whether we cover it.

A focused single-framework assessment typically runs four to six weeks from the scoping kickoff through to the executive debrief and final report. A multi-framework assessment covering three or more standards usually requires six to ten weeks. The actual timeline depends on the number of systems in scope, the size of your organisation, and how quickly your team can provide evidence and make control owners available for interviews. We provide a firm milestone plan with dates after the kickoff session.

You receive a gap register that rates every control point in the target framework against the evidence collected, a risk register that scores each gap by likelihood and potential business impact, a prioritised remediation roadmap organised into phases with owner assignments and timelines, and an executive summary report written in plain business language. The engagement closes with a live debrief session where we walk your leadership team through the findings and agree on next steps.

An internal review is limited by familiarity with your own environment. People who designed or operate a process often cannot see its gaps because they understand how it is supposed to work rather than how it actually behaves under pressure. An independent assessment applies objective scrutiny through a structured methodology and produces findings that carry credibility with auditors, customers, and regulators that self-certification does not provide. It also draws on experience across many similar organisations, which surfaces risks an internal team may not have encountered before.
