To navigate back to questions previously skipped, you can use the ‘Next’ and/or ‘Back’ buttons located at the bottom of your questionnaire.  You can also click on the Show Progress tab and click directly onto the domain of the question you would like to go back to.  Before submitting your questionnaire, you will also be prompted to complete any required questions that have not been answered.

You can skip questions and come back to them later.  You will want to ensure all questions are answered prior to submitting your questionnaire, as not answering a question will affect your score, generate suggested remediation tasks and associated policy and procedure offerings.

It is estimated that it will take one hour to complete the assessment.  The entire evaluation and remediation process may take longer should consultation or research be required to answer to some of the questions.  Progress within the assessment is saved as questions are answered.  You can leave the assessment and come back to it at a later time to finish.  Your answers up to that point will be saved.

This digital seal is a stamp that you can place on your website, which informs your customers, affiliates, potential clients, corporate insurers, etc., that your organisation has performed a thorough self-assessment of your organisation’s processes to protect personally identifiable information, indicating that you have policies in place to maintain a high level of vigilance, audit, and association education with regards to the protection of personally identifiable information within your organisation.

Once the self-assessment has been taken and the recommended remediation tasks have been completed, an email will be sent to the associated account’s registered email address with the certification seal with instructions for its publication and directions to embed it on your web page.  If there are any issues regarding the implementation of the completion seal, please contact support@csrps.com for further assistance.

The Readiness Pro Edition comprises the patent-pending risk assessment program CSR Readiness® and the award winning CSR Breach Reporting Service™.

CSR Readiness® Program is an online self-assessment tool that helps you review, revise and revisit your business processes for handling the personal data of your customers, employees and vendors as required by a host of legislation and regulations.

Once you have completed in the self-assessment evaluation and implemented the remediation tasks, you will be awarded the Certificate of Completion.  This can be placed on your website and is valid for one year from date of issue.  By annually revisiting your self-assessment, you can maintain this Certificate of Completion.

Various laws and regulations require businesses to protect the personal data of employees, vendors and customers.  Readiness Pro can assist businesses in meeting these requirements.  Sanctions for infringements of the Icelandic Data Protection Act can include fines and prison.

While it’s impossible to completely avoid a breach due to uncontrollable circumstances, 91% could have been prevented.  Accidents, errors and theft are just a few ways that information is compromised. Smart devices and wireless services compound the problem.  Proactive detection and correction can go a long way to prevent loss and further fallout due to reputational damage, lost sales, fines, and civil law claims.

Lost trust means lost sales. The fallout of data breaches has caused businesses to close their doors. According to Visa, businesses should “Consider a breach likely and plan accordingly.”
