Compass Assessment

A scoped assessment led by experienced specialists for questions that require deeper technical and organisational context.

Questions the assessment can address.

  • Which risks are symptoms of deeper engineering issues?
  • Are outdated technologies increasing exposure?
  • How mature are testing and delivery controls?
  • Where do dependencies create concentration risk?
  • What will sustainable remediation require?

Evidence and areas examined.

  • Architecture and dependency review
  • Technology lifecycle risk
  • Testing practices
  • Engineering controls
  • Operational weaknesses
