03 · Journey to certificationFrom readiness to certificate

The steps your organization goes through — from measuring readiness to achieving and maintaining certification.

  1. 1

    Readiness assessment

    The requirements checklist shows the percentage already met and the gaps prioritized by impact on the evaluation.

  2. 2

    Remediation and evidence

    The organization closes the gaps and attaches evidence for each requirement on the platform.

  3. 3

    Internal verification

    An internal review round confirms the evidence; the AI opinion points out what still weakens the evaluation.

  4. Official evaluation

    With readiness proven, the organization hires the certification body or the entity that grants the seal.
