Confirm the commitments
Check support coverage, recovery targets, access responsibilities and the evidence available for your requirement. Software features do not by themselves establish compliance.

Review the relevant service.
For product features and Central plans, explore Central. For the technical access and responsibility boundaries, review the Trust Centre.
Send the specific control questions, required evidence and procurement deadline. Identify mandatory certifications early: ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness are in progress, and Cyber Essentials is planned; these are not completed certifications.
