Pre-assessment for complience
A clear evaluation of your organisation’s readiness before the official compliance audit.
What is a pre-assessment for complience?
A Pre-Assessment is an independent review of your organization’s current security policies, processes, and controls before the official compliance audit. Unlike a formal certification audit that results in pass or fail, a Pre-Assessment identifies potential gaps and risks early, so you have time to fix them in advance.
Our experts compare your existing practices against the chosen compliance standard (ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, etc.), highlight areas that require improvement, and provide practical recommendations to help you achieve a smooth and successful certification.

Each Pre-Assessment is tailored to your organization and aligned with the specific compliance framework you are aiming for (ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.). It may include:
