FAQs
What's the difference between the Excel tracker and the full AISE Platform?
The Excel gives you a pillar-level baseline score in under an hour. It covers Phase 0 only — the baseline level. The full AISE platform assesses all maturity levels, generates a gap analysis and phased roadmap, and tracks your progress through each maturity cycle until you reach the highest maturity level.
What is the typical timeline?
The baseline assessment typically takes 3–4 weeks when run consistently by your team. The full maturity cycle from baseline to Advanced Level 2 takes 12–18 months across multiple assessment iterations, depending on your implementation pace.
What if I need help implementing the strategic roadmap and plan?
Contact us to discuss the advisory and implementation services.
What’s required from our internal teams?
You'll need a designated assessment lead, typically a CISO, Zero Trust program manager, or senior security architect and subject matter access to answer questions across the relevant pillars. The AI assistant handles real-time question clarification so your team doesn't need to be ZTA framework experts to complete the assessment.
