Why audit readiness matters
CPCSC assessments fail most often on documentation gaps, missing evidence, incomplete security documentation or system security plans, weak access controls, and insufficient audit logging — not on missing technology. Knowing your risk before the assessor arrives saves months of rework and tens of thousands of dollars in re-assessment costs.
