Your organisation and its context
Activities, customers, data, suppliers and significant developments.
Compliance Scan
Start with a clear picture.
Then move forward with focus.
An experienced Compliance Officer reviews your situation, asks targeted questions and identifies the main gaps and risks. You receive a professional assessment with clear priorities and next steps, rather than an automated score.
The requirements check identifies what is likely to apply. The Compliance Scan assesses where your organisation stands.

What the Compliance Officer reviews
We agree in advance which parts of the organisation, activities and known requirements to examine. The Compliance Officer then assesses what is already in place, where gaps or risks remain and what needs attention first.
Known legislation, standards and customer requirements
The requirements already identified within the agreed scope.
What is already in place
Policies, controls, ownership, implementation and available evidence.
Gaps and areas needing attention
Where arrangements or implementation are missing, vulnerable or not demonstrably effective.
What you receive
A clear starting point for the next steps
After the scan, you have a shared understanding of what is working well, what needs attention and what to address first. The Compliance Officer explains the findings and discusses which tasks you will handle and where support would help.
- Summary of the areas reviewed and the current situation
- Prioritised findings with explanations
- Practical next steps and a proposed allocation of responsibilities
Our approach
How we carry out the scan
Agree the scope
We agree which questions the scan should answer and which areas to review.
Gather information
You share relevant information; we speak to the people involved where needed.
Assess the situation
The Compliance Officer reviews what is already in place and identifies gaps and risks.
Discuss the findings
We explain the priorities and discuss next steps and responsibilities.
Frequently asked questions
Practical questions about the scan
Find answers about preparation, the time your team needs to contribute and possible follow-up.
What does the scan require from our organisation?+
Before starting, we agree which areas to review, what information we need and whom we may want to speak to. You receive a clear schedule in advance so you know what is expected of your team.
Do we need to know which laws and standards apply already?+
We include the requirements your organisation has already identified. If you are not yet sure which legislation, standards and customer requirements are likely to apply, the requirements check is a sensible first step.
Is the scan an audit?+
No. The scan provides insight and priorities; it is not a formal, independent assessment. An audit or assessment is an appropriate follow-up when you need independent assurance or preparation for an audit.
Does the scan always lead to further work with DCA?+
No. You can use the findings independently. If additional support would help, we will discuss an appropriate next step together.
