FAQ

Common questions from Microsoft suppliers.

Do I need an assessor from Microsoft's preferred list?+

No. Microsoft requires that your SSPA assessor meet certification, experience, expertise, and independence criteria — not that they appear on the preferred list. We meet and exceed every requirement.

How long does an SSPA assessment take?+

Most engagements run 4–8 weeks depending on scope, DPRs in play, and evidence readiness. We scope precisely during kickoff so deadlines are never a surprise.

What if we fail a control during the gap phase?+

You get a prioritized remediation plan before the formal assessment. Our goal is a clean Green Status on first submission — not a surprise finding.

Can you also handle our SOC 2 or ISO work?+

Yes. SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 42001 readiness are core offerings. Many clients bundle SSPA with adjacent frameworks.
