About this assessment — please read before you start
This is a self-reported readiness indicator, not a formal compliance audit or certification. Use it to identify gaps and prioritise remediation — not as evidence of compliance for auditors or regulators.
SOC 2
Certification requires a licensed CPA firm auditing your controls over a minimum 6-month observation period. This assessment identifies your readiness for that process.
GDPR
GDPR is a continuous legal obligation — there is no official certification. Requires a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with all data processors including DBaasNow before deployment.
HIPAA
No official HIPAA certification exists. Requires a formal risk analysis under 45 CFR §164.308 and a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with DBaasNow before processing ePHI databases.

Important — Compliance & Legal Notices

Self-assessment notice: This tool provides a self-reported compliance readiness indicator only. It does not constitute a formal compliance audit, legal opinion, or certification under any regulatory framework. Scores are based solely on responses provided by the user and do not reflect an independent assessment of controls.

SOC 2: A SOC 2 Type II report must be conducted by a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firm registered with the AICPA. The observation period is typically 6–12 months. This assessment identifies readiness for that process — it does not replace or substitute for a formal SOC 2 audit.

GDPR: GDPR compliance is a continuous legal obligation under EU Regulation 2016/679. There is no official GDPR certification. Organisations deploying DBaasNow as a data processor must execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with DBaasNow under Article 28 before processing personal data. DBaasNow deploys within the customer's own network infrastructure — personal data does not transit DBaasNow systems. Customers remain the data controller and retain responsibility for lawful basis, consent, data subject rights, and DPO appointment where required.

HIPAA: HIPAA compliance is governed by 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164. There is no official HIPAA certification programme. Organisations processing databases containing electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) must execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with DBaasNow before deployment under 45 CFR §164.308(b). DBaasNow addresses the Technical Safeguards (§164.312) at the database layer. Administrative Safeguards (workforce training, formal risk analysis) and Physical Safeguards remain the responsibility of the covered entity.

General: This tool does not constitute legal, financial, technical, or professional advice. Always consult qualified legal counsel, a licensed compliance professional, or a qualified auditor before making compliance-related decisions. DBaasNow makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of these assessments.
