What is the frequency of assessments typically performed by ACAS?

The frequency of assessments performed by ACAS is continuous with periodic in-depth assessments. This approach enables organizations to maintain a real-time understanding of their compliance posture, adapting quickly to any changes in risk or regulatory requirements. Continuous assessments allow for ongoing monitoring of systems and controls, ensuring that potential vulnerabilities and compliance gaps are identified and addressed promptly.

The periodic in-depth assessments complement continuous evaluations by providing a more thorough analysis of compliance practices. These in-depth reviews may occur on a scheduled basis and look deeper into specific areas, ensuring comprehensive oversight and improving the overall compliance framework.

This dual approach helps organizations not only meet immediate compliance standards but also fosters a culture of proactive risk management and continuous improvement over time.
