FAQ
Answers without the fluff. If you still have questions, we’ll handle them on a short call.
What do you actually deliver in a foundation sprint?
A coherent baseline you can operate day to day: ownership, governance, policies and procedures, a control narrative, and an evidence index with collection guidance. You receive editable files plus reviewer-friendly PDFs, with practical implementation notes.
Is this a GRC tool or templates to download?
No. Accel Comply does not replace your tools and does not sell generic templates. This is a fixed-scope sprint that builds a baseline around your current stack and operating reality.
When is this a good fit?
When an enterprise deal is blocked by security due diligence, when you need a credible ISO 27001 or SOC 2 baseline quickly, or when NIS2 or GDPR pressure is forcing formal governance, ownership and proof.
How fast is “delivered in days”?
Express Foundation Sprint is typically delivered within a few business days once inputs are received. Core and Dual-Framework Foundation Sprints are typically delivered within 5 to 10 business days once inputs are received.
Do you need access to our systems?
No. We do not request credentials or log into your environment. Implementation support is advisory-only. Your team or your MSP executes changes using the guidance and runbooks provided.
Will this guarantee certification or an audit pass?
No. We build a reviewer-ready baseline and reduce churn, but outcomes depend on implementation, evidence quality, and reviewer or auditor judgement.
Can you work with Vanta, Drata, or our existing evidence store?
Yes. We align the baseline to your current tooling and evidence store. No tool replacement is required.
Which frameworks and regulations do you support?
We operate with explicit modules to avoid overpromising: Procurement-ready baseline and NIS2 baseline are available. ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 baselines are pilot modules. GDPR operational baseline is roadmap. If you have another requirement set, send it and we will confirm fit.
Can I inspect sample deliverables before buying?
Yes. See the Samples page for a redacted PDF bundle you can inspect. If you want to review structure in editable form, there is also an optional full ZIP of redacted originals.
What is included and what is not included?
Included: baseline artefacts, mappings and traceability, evidence index and guidance, and implementation notes. Not included: hands-on implementation in your systems, legal advice, acting as your auditor, or open-ended project management.
How do revisions work?
Two rounds of minor revisions are included for clarifications and small corrections. Scope expansion or additional requirement sets require a change order or a custom engagement.
What happens after delivery?
You implement the baseline using the guidance. If you want controlled maintenance, the Care Plan supports scheduled update cycles within defined limits.
How do you handle sensitive information?
We work with the minimum necessary inputs, avoid credentials, and recommend redaction of sensitive details where possible. If needed, keep intake to high-level stack, policies, and existing artefacts.
