What Your Score Means

Four readiness bands.
One clear next step.

Every item is scored. Every category produces a percentage. The total tells you exactly where you stand — and what to do about it.

85–100%
Audit-Ready
Controls are documented and operational. Engage an auditor and begin scoping.
70–84%
Near-Ready
Foundation is there. A focused 60–90 day remediation sprint closes most gaps.
50–69%
Foundational Gaps
Core controls exist but documentation needs work. Plan a 3–6 month readiness program.
Below 50%
Pre-Program Stage
Significant gaps across multiple categories. Start with a structured gap assessment.

With 8 years as Head of Information Security at a global enterprise consulting firm, Giovanni held full accountability for fielding banking-grade vendor security audits across banking and telecommunications clients — not as an observer, but as the person in the room responsible for the outcome. This guide is built from that experience: the exact control areas enterprise teams evaluate, the gaps that surface in first-time programs, and the distinctions that separate a documented program from one that holds up under scrutiny.
