Start with a gap assessment mapping your current controls against the Trust Services Criteria, then remediate findings by severity. Build an evidence collection matrix so proof of control operation is gathered continuously before the audit period begins.

Each finding includes the control reference, current state, target state, numbered remediation steps, effort estimate, and priority. Results are grouped by control domain with an overall readiness score and estimated time to audit-ready.

Yes, common control frameworks let you map a single set of controls across multiple certifications to eliminate duplicate effort. The Skill maps existing controls across frameworks and identifies where one implementation satisfies several requirements.

Auditors typically request access review logs, provisioning and deprovisioning records, and proof that controls operated over the full audit period. Evidence should be collected automatically from systems like Okta or Jira rather than manually.

Certification may be premature if controls cannot operate consistently over the required audit period or if no customers require it. Right-size the program to actual risk and company stage rather than copying enterprise-grade programs.
