Mapping of people, process, technology and third parties

Severe-but-plausible scenario testing

Self-assessment, remediation, communications and lessons learned

Open authoritative source

External standards and regulations can change independently of TAP. TAP keeps the assessment release and the current external-source reference visibly separate so a source update does not silently rewrite historical assessment evidence.

TAP assessment workflow

From framework scope to evidence-backed remediation

1. Scope

Confirm the relevant framework, organisational boundary, responsibilities and evidence owners before assessment.

2. Assess

Complete the governed TAP assessment against the framework-specific question set pinned to the active TAP content release.

3. Identify gaps

Record control gaps, severity, recommendations and supporting evidence without treating a readiness score as certification.

4. Remediate

Assign owners, due dates and remediation actions, then maintain evidence in the governed workspace.

5. Review & report

Use available consultant review and governed reporting features where the selected plan and assessment state permit them.
