How is the readiness score calculated?

You answer eight yes or no statements across access, data protection, monitoring, and policy. Each yes adds to a score out of 100 that places you in one of three readiness levels.

Is this a formal audit?

No. It is a fast readiness indicator; a formal, documented assessment is part of our paid IT assessment.

What should I do after I get my result?

Each level comes with two or three specific next steps. The fastest way to act on them is a first appointment with a bdManagedIT strategist, who maps your gaps to your framework.

Can bdManagedIT get us audit-ready?

Yes. We remediate the gaps across access, encryption, logging, and policy, and document the controls so you walk into an audit ready.

What is compliance readiness?

Compliance readiness measures how close your IT controls are to what an audit or cyber insurance review expects, across data protection, access, monitoring, and documented policy. Frameworks like CIS Controls v8, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CJIS, the FTC Safeguards Rule, NIST CSF, and cyber insurance requirements share the same core controls; the gap is usually missing evidence and documentation, not missing technology.

This assessment scores eight common controls across four areas, access, data protection, monitoring, and policy, and places you on one of three readiness levels:

1 High risk

Significant gaps would surface in an audit, and several leave you exposed today.
2 Partially ready

Good progress, but specific gaps would still flag in a formal audit.
3 Audit-ready

Strong posture, most controls are in place and documented.
