Service scope

Service constraints
Requires client-supplied cloud readiness data, such as current IT audits and risk registers, with secure data sharing protocols. Delivery (4-10 weeks) hinges on timely information provision. Tailored to UK public sector; non-UK applications need extra customisation. Service is analytical only, no cloud deployment or remediation included. Potential extensions if high-risk areas emerge mid-analysis. Assumes access to key personnel; remote options available but in-person preferred for accuracy. Recommendations are advisory; client bears responsibility for implementation. No liability for unforeseen external factors like regulatory changes
