We're excited to announce that you can now book your Audit Pre-Submission Review (Readiness Assessment) directly within the platform at app.oneclickcomply.com/pre-submission-review. Select your target framework, choose an available slot, and confirm your booking in just a few clicks. You'll receive an email confirmation along with a preparation checklist tailored to your chosen framework so you know exactly what to have ready on the day.
Important: Check your entitlement before booking. The number of Readiness Assessments included in your subscription varies depending on your agreement. Some customers have two included assessments, others may have more or fewer depending on the package agreed at the time of signing. If you are unsure how many assessments are included in your plan, or whether you have any remaining, please contact our support team at support@oneclickcomply.com or via live chat before booking. Assessments booked beyond your included entitlement will be charged at £1,000 excluding VAT per assessment, and we don't want anyone to be caught out by an unexpected invoice.
To help our customers better understand how the Any Auditor Guarantee works and what to expect from the Readiness Assessment process, we've published a comprehensive guide on our Help Centre: The Any Auditor Guarantee.
This article covers everything you need to know, including which frameworks are covered by the guarantee (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and Cyber Essentials Plus), how to book and prepare for your Readiness Assessment, what happens on the Assessment Day, how the Readiness Report is produced and what it contains, the ten working day Report Delivery Window and why it's needed, what "Audit Ready" and "Not Audit Ready" determinations mean for your guarantee eligibility, the qualified auditor requirements your chosen certification body must meet, how we handle impartiality and conflict of interest, and frequently asked questions covering the most common scenarios our customers ask about.
We'd strongly encourage all customers to read this article before scheduling their audit, particularly if you're approaching your first certification under one of the covered frameworks. If anything is unclear, our support team is happy to walk you through it.
Under Clause 21 of your customer agreement, you are required to inform OneClickComply prior to undertaking any audit covered by the Any Auditor Guarantee. OneClickComply is entitled to suspend any such audit in order to assess your current security and compliance posture and to form a professional opinion on your likelihood of success. This assessment is conducted through the Readiness Assessment process.
Customers who have not yet booked their Audit Pre-Submission Review, or who have booked but not yet undergone the review, or who have not received a formal "Audit Ready" determination within a finalised Readiness Report, should treat this as a suspension of their authority to proceed to audit under the guarantee.
You are not authorised to proceed to a covered audit under the protection of the Any Auditor Guarantee until a written "Audit Ready" determination has been delivered to you in a completed, peer-reviewed Readiness Report.
If you proceed to audit without having received this determination, you do so entirely at your own risk and outside the protection of the Any Auditor Guarantee. No refund will be payable in the event of audit failure in these circumstances, regardless of any informal or verbal indication you may have received.
