Frameworks / Technology
Technology assessment frameworks
Benchmark how a client builds and runs technology — engineering, cloud and service management — against the standards that matter, public sector included.
UK regulatory coverage: 2 of these 5 frameworks are UK-specific — built for firms advising regulated UK clients.

UKHow it works
From the client's documents to a board-ready deck.
1 · Evidence in
Upload the client's documents — policies, reports, data. An AI interviewer asks targeted follow-ups to fill anything missing.
2 · Scored on the standard
Every dimension is scored on the framework's own scale, with each score traceable to the evidence behind it — gaps ranked by severity.
3 · Board-ready out
A board-ready slide deck and HTML report are generated automatically — executive summary, maturity landscape and a sequenced plan.
Evidence-grounded, not opinion
Defensible Technology scores.
Every score links back to the evidence it rests on, so the diagnosis holds up in the steering committee. See how evidence is collected and assessments are scored.
- Scored against the standard's own bands — not a generic rubric
- Gaps ranked by severity, ready to become the plan
- Auto-generated slide deck and HTML report for the board
