A structured readiness view of SOC 1

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.
Framework-specific TAP assessment
Open the internal framework workspace to see the governed question domains, existing assessment state and available start/continue actions for your organisation.
