Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. Attestvio publishes no rule text, no control list, no scoring scale and no benchmark gap rate: the minutes, the rates, the scales and the scopes are yours, and the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own figures.

An IT control testing sheet: the arithmetic behind an it compliance audit's testing program before it is planned or priced. Give it the controls in your framework, the tests each needs a year, minutes per test, your failure rate and the hours a failure takes to close; it returns the test count, the testing hours, the failures to expect, the remediation hours and the annual cost. The failure rate is yours.
Tests and hours
120 controls tested four times a year is 480 tests and 160 hours at 20 minutes each on the worked example. The frequency is yours; the sheet works what it costs in hours.
Failures and remediation
5% of 480 tests is 24 failures and 72 remediation hours at three each. The rate is yours from the last cycle; the sheet publishes no benchmark and shows what any rate costs.
The annual cost
160 testing hours plus 72 remediation hours at $85 is $19,720 for the year. The figure is the testing program's budget with the failures already in it, which is how it should be presented.
It compliance audit: what compliance officers ask first
How is an IT compliance audit's testing programme sized?
Controls times tests per year times minutes, over 60, for the testing hours; plus the expected failures times the remediation hours per failure; times the hourly cost. $19,720 on the worked example. The free sheet works it with no account.
What control failure rate should I enter?
Your own, from the last testing cycle; the sheet publishes no benchmark and the worked example's 5% is arithmetic. What the sheet shows is what any rate costs in remediation hours.
Does the sheet keep the test results?
No. The sheet works the year's size and cost on the page, free, and keeps nothing. Attestvio Pro keeps every control with its tests, results and remediation against the obligation it satisfies.
