QUESTIONS
About the assessment.
Is this the certification?
No. It tells you whether you would pass today and what to fix. Certification is a separate step, and your assessment fee is credited against it.
How is this different from the free checker?
The checker gives you a quick indication. The assessment is reviewed by us, covers every control, and gives you a written report and fix list.
How quickly do we get the report?
Within 1-2 weeks depending on the size of the business.
We are already certified. Is this worth it?
Yes, if your renewal is coming up. It will be judged under v3.3, where missing MFA or slow patching is an automatic fail.
