Conducting an assessment is a vital part to help understand your business. Follow our steps below to learn about how an assessment is conducted on the Assuredly platform.
Control assessments is where we help you describe your security controls. Your responses are carefully assessed, using our proprietary Applied Experience platform, for how mature they are and if they meet the requirements of any standard you have included in the scope of the assessment.
Simply put, a control assessment is a “stock-take” of your current information security controls.
Control assessments help to identify what you are doing well and flag areas where you could do better.
A key outcome of a control assessment is to identify weaknesses in your security controls which may increase the likelihood that a serious security incident or breach could occur.
