General information
Baseline Ready publishes general information about security and compliance readiness. It is not legal advice, audit advice, certification, attestation, or a substitute for a qualified auditor, certification body or security professional.
Not an auditor or standards body
Baseline Ready is independent. It is not a CPA firm, an accredited certification body, a law firm, or a standards body, and it is not affiliated with the AICPA, ISO, NIST or CISA. Only a CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report, and only an accredited certification body can certify against ISO/IEC 27001.
No outcome is promised
No guide, checklist, tool or platform described here can promise a particular audit or certification result. The readiness assessment reflects your own answers; it is not an opinion on your controls.
Accuracy and dates
We check facts against the sources cited and show when each page was last verified. Standards, vendor products and prices change, so a page can become out of date between checks; the cited source prevails. Please tell us about any error.
Vendors and links
Listing a vendor is not a recommendation, and published cost figures are the publishers' estimates, not quotes. Paid placements are labelled as described on the advertise page. We are not responsible for the content of external sites.

Baseline Ready is published by the team behind SmartBizAIO. See about.
