Frequently Asked Questions
Is this risk assessment a legal compliance or regulatory certification?
No. This is a general operational technology risk assessment. It is not a formal legal, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, or regulatory compliance certification, nor a cybersecurity penetration test.
Does a risk assessment guarantee our business will never suffer downtime?
No. No consulting engagement or technology setup can guarantee absolute immunity from downtime or errors. Our assessment helps identify known risks so you can make informed prioritization decisions.
