Compliance Readiness Checklist

The assessment begins by gathering your company profile including industry sector, company size, data handling practices, and relevant compliance frameworks. Based on this profile, the tool dynamically generates questions that are specifically applicable to your regulatory requirements. A healthcare organization will see HIPAA-focused questions, while an e-commerce business will see PCI DSS and GDPR requirements.

Yes, your progress is automatically saved to your browser local storage as you complete the assessment. If you close the browser and return within 7 days, you will be prompted to resume from where you left off or start fresh. This allows you to gather necessary information from different team members without losing your work.

The assessment provides scores across multiple dimensions including overall compliance readiness, control implementation status, and risk levels by category. Ratings range from fully compliant to non-compliant, with partial compliance indicating controls that are in place but may need improvement. The results highlight gaps requiring immediate attention and provide prioritized recommendations.

No, this self-assessment tool is designed for preliminary gap analysis and compliance readiness evaluation, not as a replacement for formal audits or certifications. Use it to identify potential gaps before engaging auditors, prioritize remediation efforts, and track progress over time. For official compliance certification, you will still need qualified assessors or auditors as required by each framework.

Yes, the tool generates shareable URLs that encode your assessment responses and results. You can copy this link to share with team members, management, or external consultants. The shared link allows others to view your compliance posture without exposing raw assessment data, making it useful for compliance discussions and remediation planning meetings.

You should reassess your compliance status at least quarterly or whenever significant changes occur to your organization, systems, or regulatory landscape. Major triggers include new system deployments, organizational changes, regulatory updates, security incidents, or after implementing remediation measures. Regular assessment helps ensure continuous compliance and identifies new gaps before they become audit findings.
