The five steps

Company profile

Set your organization display name (replacing My Organization), industry, and company size. This appears on the Executive View PDF and in audit exports.

Pick frameworks

Select the compliance programs you are pursuing: SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, DPDP Act 2023, ISO 9001, and/or ISO 42001. You can add or remove frameworks later under Compliance → Frameworks or in Framework workspaces.

Complete the assessment

Answer the CIS Controls v8 questionnaire across seven pillars. Save progress anytime; submit when ready - that submission drives your score, roadmap, tasks, and risks.

Review recommended controls

Atlas suggests controls based on your answers. Confirm the list so roadmap and task generation align with your priorities.

Start implementation

Assign at least one task owner and attach one piece of evidence (file or link). This closes the loop between assessment and execution.
