Starting assessment

Starting assessment: applicable frameworks, maturity area by area on five levels, priorities.

A high-level assessment built on the organisation's profile: it identifies the frameworks that apply, measures maturity area by area and shows where to start. It forms the basis for the next steps.

  • Questions that change by sector and framework
  • A five-level scale, not yes or no
  • A report with priorities, not a score

How it works

Three parts: the profile determines the frameworks, the frameworks determine the areas assessed.

01

Profile

Sector and activities, size, group structure, ICT services, use or development of AI systems, products with digital elements.

OutputThe frameworks that apply: NIS2 and category, DORA, the AI Act, GDPR, the Cyber Resilience Act.

02

Maturity

Only the areas covered by the applicable frameworks: governance, risk management, incidents, continuity, vendors, access, training.

OutputThe level of each area, from "does not exist" to "verified with evidence".

03

Context

Known deadlines, existing certifications, tools used today, who looks after compliance.

OutputPriorities, first steps and an estimate of the effort.

The result

The report: applicable frameworks, the level of each area, priorities with an effort estimate.

The report sets out the frameworks that apply, the level of each area and priorities with an effort estimate. It takes about ten minutes to read and is laid out for presentation to the management body.

Data for illustrative purposes only, not real

The scale

A five-level scale: a policy that is documented but not applied stops at level 3.

Every answer states the level reached. The scale separates what is written, what is applied and what is demonstrated with evidence.

  1. 1Does not exist
  2. 2Informal
  3. 3Documented
  4. 4Approved and applied
  5. 5Verified with evidence

Confidential answers

  • Answers describe security weaknesses, so they are treated as confidential.
  • They stay in the European Union and are not shared with third parties.
  • They are deleted on request via [email protected].

The starting assessment is a high-level first look: it does not replace a full assessment, an audit or legal advice.

A thirty-minute presentation based on the organisation's scope.

It starts from the frameworks in scope and how the work is organised today. In thirty minutes, EVIDEVO is shown working in that context.
