Continuous Assurance
Readiness lapses quietly. This notices.
Evidence goes out of date, tasks slip, staff change and the law moves. Continuous Assurance adds a monitor to the workspace that checks for each of these and puts what needs attention on your overview the next time anyone in your team opens it.
01What is checked
Five checks, run every time you open the workspace
| Check | What it finds |
|---|---|
| Evidence past its review date | Policies, contracts and screenshots that were due for review and have not been replaced. The control drops from evidenced to review due. |
| Evidence due soon | Anything due for review in the next 60 days, so it can be refreshed in time. |
| Overdue tasks | Remediation tasks past their due date, with their owners. |
| Question bank changes | When the law or the questions change after your assessment, so you can bring your answers up to date. |
| Reassessment | Six months after your last assessment, a prompt to run it again. |
Notices about changes in the Act, the Rules and official guidance appear alongside, each with what it means for an assessment.
The monitor does not send emails, texts or alerts. It runs when someone signs in, so it only helps if someone in your organisation looks at it regularly. Make checking it a standing item for the person who owns DPDP work.
