What the Two Programs Provide
The Readiness Assessment Program jump-starts your compliance activities by analyzing compliance capability gaps to develop a risk map and prioritize key elements. It provides you an actionable plan to guide you in planning resources and initiatives to build the capacity to effectively and efficiently achieve compliance.
The Risk Assessment Program helps companies improve their existing compliance practice, and support internal audits or respond to external audits.
Both programs are designed to be convenient for you and transparent for your organization, making it easy to achieve fast results to help you understand where you are today, and where you need to be tomorrow to become export compliance capable.
Compliance Focused Offerings
As a framework for engagement, we employ our Compliance Assessment Methodology, jointly developed by our partners IBM, SAP and NextLabs, to apply clearly defined metrics to ensure consistent, repeatable assessments and measurements.
The Readiness Assessment Programs and the Risk Assessment Programs are focused on two lead areas of Compliance:
Export Compliance
- Export Compliance (ITAR, EAR) Readiness Assessment Program
- Export Compliance (ITAR, EAR) Risk Assessment Program
NERC-CIP Compliance
- NERC-CIP Readiness Assessment Program

The Readiness Assessment Programs and the Risk Assessment Programs are also available for other compliance and business objectives. Contact us today to learn more about these other programs in Intellectual Property Protection, Information Barriers, HIPAA, and many others!
