What this service covers

A structured readiness view of SOC 2

TAP combines the framework-specific assessment with governed gap, remediation, evidence and reporting workflows. The exact assessment content remains pinned to its governed TAP release so historical results are reproducible.

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.
