Find your gaps before someone else does

That someone can be…

  1. Customer, through a prospect's security review. Their security team sends a questionnaire and asks for the evidence behind every “yes”. Costs the deal: 3.1 weeks average time spent on security review per deal. Over half of revenue teams say it delays their deals sometimes or often.
  2. Auditor, through your ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit. The auditor samples real evidence. A policy nobody follows still counts as a finding. Costs the certificate: A major nonconformity must be closed before the certificate is issued. SOC 2 exceptions are printed in the report your customers read.
  3. Regulator, through a data protection authority. A complaint or a breach report triggers a formal request for your records. Costs a fine: 4% of global annual turnover, or €20M if higher. Up to €35M or 7% under the EU AI Act.
  4. Attacker, through a breach. An incident tests every control live, with no time to prepare. Costs all of it: 72 hours to notify the regulator. The investigation that follows exposes every other gap at once.

Four ways to find out. One way to find out first.

Not a security failure. An implementation problem.

What is a compliance gap?

compliance gap noun
The difference between the controls you believe you have and the ones you can prove.

You can’t close a gap you haven’t found.

PROCESSप्रक्रिया

How it works

Every answer maps to a real control, so every gap in your report points to something specific you can fix.

WHAT YOU GET

What you'll have in your inbox before your next sales call

01 · Score

Your score, before someone else finds it

A score per framework, a heatmap of strong and weak domains, and how mature each one really is.

02 · Gap list

Every gap names the control it breaks

Not “improve your security”. The exact clause: ISO 27001 A.8.8, GDPR Article 30, EU AI Act Article 14.

03 · Shared fixes

Fix once, close three gaps

ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR ask for the same things in different words. We show which fixes count everywhere.

Not for you if you already run a dedicated GRC team on a compliance platform, or if you need a certificate. This is a self-assessment, not an audit.

Frameworks

Five frameworks. One assessment.

What each one is, who asks for it, and what the assessment covers. Open one to read more.

  • Certifiable standard

    ISO/IEC 27001:2022

    The international standard for an information security management system, or ISMS: how you run security, not just which tools you use.

    Who asks for it

    Enterprise customers and partners who want proof your security is managed, audited and improving.

Where they overlap

They overlap more than they look. 12 areas show up in more than one framework, and 9 of them you answer once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to what the assessment is, what it is not, and what happens to your data.

Didn't find your answer? Write to us and you'll hear back from a person, not a bot.

Trust and data

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. The assessment and your on-screen score are free with no signup. The detailed gap report is also free, and asks for your email so we can send it to you. There is no credit card and no sales call.

What happens to my answers?

Your answers are stored so your score and report can be generated, and so you can resume an unfinished assessment. We do not sell your data. If you give us your email for the report, we may send you occasional compliance insights, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Do I have to give my email?

Not to take the assessment or to see your score and domain heatmap. Only the detailed gap report is sent by email.

Who built this?

Shubham Raut, an ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 42001:2023 Lead Auditor certified by BSI, who has implemented these frameworks for international clients. The question set is the same assessment used in the first week of a consulting engagement.

What this is and is not

Is a self-assessment valid for ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification?

No. Certification against ISO 27001 requires an accredited certification body, and a SOC 2 report requires a licensed CPA firm. This assessment does not certify you and does not replace either. It tells you where you stand before you start that process.

How accurate is a self-assessment?

It is as accurate as your answers. We ask what you have implemented and documented, and you tell us. We never see your systems, your policies, or your evidence, so nothing here is verified. That is the difference between a self-assessment and an audit, and it is why the report shows you what to fix rather than certifying that you fixed it.

Can I show my score to a customer or an investor?

You can share it as what it is: a self-assessed maturity score, not a certification or an audit result. Presenting it as anything more will cause you problems the first time someone asks for the evidence behind it.

Is this for my company?

It is built for startups and scaling B2B SaaS teams, especially AI companies, that do not yet have a dedicated compliance function. If you already run a GRC team on a compliance platform, or what you need is a certificate rather than a diagnosis, this will not tell you much you do not already know.

Taking the assessment

How long does it take?

It depends on how many frameworks you select. Each framework shows its own estimate on the selection screen before you start.

Can I assess against more than one framework at once?

Yes. Select as many as you want. These frameworks overlap heavily, so where two of them ask for the same thing, we ask you once and apply your answer to each framework's score.

Do I have to finish in one sitting?

No. Your progress is saved as you go, and you can close the tab and resume from where you stopped.

What if I do not know the answer to a question?

Every question has an "I don't know" option. It scores as zero, and the report flags it separately as something nobody in the company could answer, which is itself useful to know.

What if a question does not apply to us?

Mark it "Not applicable" and it is excluded from your score entirely rather than counted against you. The assessment also skips questions that your company profile shows are not relevant to you.

Choosing a framework

Which framework should I start with?

Start with whichever one someone is actually asking you for. If a customer sent a security questionnaire, start with ISO 27001 or SOC 2. If you build with AI and sell in Europe, start with the EU AI Act. If nobody has asked yet and you want a baseline, ISO 27001 is the most widely recognised starting point.

What is the difference between ISO 27001 and SOC 2?

ISO 27001 is an international certification standard for how you run security as a management system, awarded by a certification body. SOC 2 is an attestation report written by a CPA firm about whether your controls operated over a period of time. Buyers in Europe and Asia tend to ask for ISO 27001, buyers in North America tend to ask for SOC 2, and they overlap heavily.

Does the EU AI Act apply to us if we are not an EU company?

It can. The obligations follow where your AI system is used and who it affects, not only where your company is registered. If you have users or customers in the EU, it is worth checking rather than assuming.

Do I need all five?

Almost certainly not. Most companies need one or two, driven by what their customers and regulators ask for. Selecting more frameworks gives you a wider picture, not a better score.

After your report

What is in the free report?

Your score by framework, a domain heatmap of strong and weak areas, a control by control gap list naming the specific control or article each gap breaks, the cross framework overlap analysis, and a prioritised remediation roadmap.

What do the paid tiers add?

The free report tells you what to fix. The Remediation Kit gives you the material to fix it: a step by step playbook, pre-populated policy templates, an evidence collection checklist, and an implementation timeline. The Implementation Sprint is hands on work with you over several weeks. See the pricing section above for what is currently available.

Will you send me sales emails?

You will get your report, and occasional compliance insights if you consented. You can unsubscribe from any of it. There is no automated sales sequence that starts the moment you download a report.

Can I retake the assessment later?

Yes, and it is worth doing once you have closed some gaps, so you can see what moved.
