How should your team answer and calculate the score?
Ask the programme lead to consolidate responses from the sponsor, process owners, IT/security, finance/procurement and internal audit where relevant.
Domain 1: Have you agreed what the platform must accomplish?
NIST’s organisational-profile guidance distinguishes current and target outcomes and uses their differences to prioritise action.
Domain 2: Can you migrate information without losing its meaning?
IBM’s OpenPages documentation distinguishes configuration items from instance data and parent–child relationships, with different migration mechanisms for different information types.
Domain 3: Are security, integrations and AI requirements testable?
NIST CSF 2.0 includes identity, authentication and access-control outcomes.
Domain 4: Can you implement and operate the platform?
NIST’s March 2026 workforce guide connects workforce decisions to risk and planned responses.
Domain 5: Can you afford the commitment and preserve your options?
The US banking agencies’ community-bank guide covers planning, supplier selection, contracts, monitoring and termination.
What does your score mean?
Add Q1–Q15 for a raw score out of 45.
Which weak area should you tackle first?
Use domain scores to route the work; do not let the overall total obscure a weak domain.
What should you do immediately after completing the quiz?
Turn the result into an evidence backlog, not a presentation about the score.
What still needs checking before contract signature or go-live?
Even 45/45 only means the buying team is prepared to evaluate.
How was this quiz researched, and what are its limits?
The rubric is an editorial synthesis of primary guidance and implementation documentation.

Strong fit for regulated US enterprise buyers: 15 evidence-based questions, transparent 0–45 scoring, mandatory overrides, domain routing, commercial and exit preparation, and a clear distinction between evaluation readiness and go-live approval. Search intent is covered naturally across GRC readiness, spreadsheet migration, implementation planning, requirements, integrations and three-year TCO without adding irrelevant vendor comparisons. Primary guidance and documentation support the underlying considerations, including 2026 NIST and IIA material; the principal limitations are an unvalidated editorial rubric, no direct buyer interviews or product testing, and limited independent operating-cost evidence.
