Compliance Readiness Audit
Find out where your controls fall short of the framework you are being asked to meet, before an assessor or customer finds it for you.

The problem
Most organizations learn which controls they are missing when a customer questionnaire, auditor request list or regulator letter arrives. By then the evidence period may already be lost and the fix becomes a rush job.
What you get
- A control-by-control comparison of your current state against one framework of your choice
- A gap register that ranks each gap by risk and by the effort required to close it
- A policy and evidence review showing which documents exist, which are out of date and which are missing
- A sequenced remediation plan you can hand to your team or to a future certification body
What we review
- Scope definition: Systems, locations, data types and teams in scope for the framework
- Policies: Existing policies and procedures mapped to framework requirements
- Controls: Technical and administrative controls tested by walk-through
- Evidence: Whether evidence exists to show controls operate over time
- Roles: Ownership of each control and of the compliance program
- Remediation: Gaps ranked by risk and effort
Who this is for
Organizations preparing for a first SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS assessment, or responding to a customer or regulator asking how they meet a framework.
What this is not
A readiness review only. SOC 2 reports can only be issued by a licensed CPA firm, ISO 27001 certificates by an accredited certification body and PCI DSS reports on compliance by a Qualified Security Assessor. Digital Anchor Advisors does none of these and does not provide legal advice.
