Interactive Compliance Readiness Checklist

Why a readiness assessment matters

Most certification timelines slip not because the framework is complex, but because gaps are discovered late — during the Stage 1 audit instead of months earlier when there's time to fix them. A readiness assessment gives you an honest baseline before you commit to an audit date.

This checklist mirrors the questions an auditor or experienced consultant would ask in a scoping call: do you have a documented ISMS scope, risk register, access control policy, incident response plan, and evidence of management review? Your score highlights where you're audit-ready and where work is still needed.

What you'll get

• An instant percentage score across the 10 core readiness areas
• A downloadable PDF report you can share internally or with your board
• A clear view of which controls are in place, partial, or missing
• A realistic starting point for scoping your certification timeline
