Draft Readiness Roadmap and Remediation Plan
Formulate a concrete SOC2 / ISO 27001 readiness roadmap detailing policy creation, technical control implementation, and audit timelines. Assign explicit internal ownership and resource allocation for every control gap identified.
Completing this action produces a decision-ready asset that transitions the venture from passive assessment to active compliance execution. It gives leadership and investors total clarity on the capital, time, and engineering effort required to achieve certification.
Deliver a finalised SOC2 / ISO Enterprise Readiness Plan, complete with a gap remediation schedule, policy draft commitments, technical integration tasks, and estimated audit costs. The plan must include a formal go or no-go decision on engaging an external auditor.
