A technical readiness assessment for financial entities, read-only, mapped to the articles your competent authority will ask about.
ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, third-party risk and intelligence sharing. Gathering the evidence for the first four by hand is slow and repetitive.
The IT Operations Engine gathers that evidence read-only, maps it to the relevant articles, scores each control, and tells you where the gaps are and in what order to close them.
What a readiness assessment has to give you
The engine enumerates every subscription or account in scope and inventories what is deployed. It then gathers evidence pillar by pillar: asset inventory and classification, identity and privileged access, encryption, network segmentation, backup and recovery, and governance under ICT risk management (Articles 5 to 16); detection, logging, classification and regulatory reporting readiness under incident management (Articles 17 to 23); vulnerability assessment, testing and failover evidence under resilience testing (Articles 24 to 27); provider register, contractual safeguards and concentration risk under third-party risk (Articles 28 to 44); and threat-intelligence arrangements under information sharing (Article 45).
Each control returns a status, a RAG rating, the evidence found and the gaps against the article. Pillars are scored, an overall maturity score is produced, and recommendations are grouped by horizon: immediate, short, medium and long term. Nothing is changed.
One regulated entity, read-only.
We have run this on our own Azure estate. On yours, one entity first, then a cadence.
We have run this assessment on our own Azure estate. On yours, we would run it read-only on one entity first, then agree what a repeatable cadence looks like.
Read-only access to the subscriptions or accounts of a single entity, and an hour with the people who own ICT risk.
The engine enumerates what is deployed, then gathers evidence across the five pillars and maps each control to the articles that ask for it.
Recommendations arrive grouped by horizon. Once the first assessment has landed, we agree what repeating it looks like.
Policies, the register of information, contractual clauses, testing programmes and sharing arrangements. The engine shows the technical state and names the documentary artefact each control still needs.
