Questions leaders ask

Frequently asked questions.

Is COSII a C3PAO?

No. COSII prepares organizations for assessment and does not represent readiness work as an independent certification.

Does the sprint guarantee certification?

No responsible advisor can guarantee an assessor’s decision. The sprint is designed to expose issues early and improve the quality of preparation.

Can COSII stay involved through remediation?

Yes. Follow-on support can include program leadership, control-owner coordination, and executive reporting.

A practical next step

Bring us the problem behind the project.

A 30-minute conversation is enough to clarify the situation, the decision in front of you, and what should happen next.
