HERE'S WHY
Readiness provides an at-a-glance assessment of the status of each framework and is the active tracking and validity check for all in-scope framework requirements and controls.
BEFORE DIVING IN
Readiness applies to Frameworks, Requirements, and Controls, with the readiness of one dependent on the other.
HERE'S HOW
A Framework's readiness is measured on the 'Dratameter' and is calculated by the number of in scope requirements that are 'Ready' out of the total number of in scope requirements.
Additionally, each framework calculates the total number of ‘In-scope Controls’ it has. The ‘In-scope Controls’ calculation includes the total amount of controls that are mapped to any requirement that has been marked in-scope.
A Requirement is considered 'Ready' if it is:
Mapped to at least one control that is ready
Not mapped to a control that is not ready
Examples:
If a requirement is mapped to two controls, one is ready and one is not, the requirement will not be ready
If a requirement is not mapped to any controls, it is not ready
If a requirement is mapped to multiple controls and all controls are ready, then the requirement is ready
You can filter requirements by their readiness status —'Ready' or 'Not Ready'—to gauge what needs your attention.
A Control is considered 'Ready' if:
All mapped evidence is valid
Is not mapped to any invalid evidence
Valid evidence is any of the following:
Test in a PASSING state
All mapped Policies have an approved version
Mapped Evidence Library item that has not exceeded its renewal date
Mapped Miscellaneous Evidence (file or URL) that has not exceeded its renewal date
Invalid evidence is any of the following:
Test in a FAILING state
Mapped Policy that is not approved
Mapped Evidence Library item that has exceeded its renewal date
Mapped Miscellaneous Evidence that has exceeded its renewal date
Additionally, if a control is not mapped to any evidence at all, it is not ready.
You can filter controls by their readiness status—'Ready' or 'Not Ready'—to gauge which controls need your attention.
