Cloud Compliance Readiness Score Calculator

Evaluate your organization's cloud compliance readiness across six critical control domains. Each domain is weighted by its industry-standard importance. The final score indicates your overall compliance posture.

Identity & Access Management (IAM) Maturity (0–10) MFA enforcement, least-privilege, role-based access, privileged access management

Data Protection & Encryption Maturity (0–10) Encryption at rest/in transit, key management, data classification, DLP controls

Vulnerability & Patch Management Maturity (0–10) Scan frequency, mean time to remediate, asset inventory coverage

Logging, Monitoring & Audit Maturity (0–10) SIEM integration, log retention, alerting, audit trail completeness

Incident Response & Recovery Maturity (0–10) Documented IR plan, tabletop exercises, RTO/RPO targets, backup testing

Governance, Risk & Policy Maturity (0–10) Policy documentation, risk register, third-party assessments, compliance mapping

Target Compliance Framework Framework adjusts domain weights to reflect its specific control emphasis

Formula

Weighted Domain Score (0–10):

W = Σ (Score_i × Weight_i) for i = 1 … 6

Cloud Compliance Readiness Score (0–100):

CCRS = W × 10

Domain Score Gap (points lost per domain):

Gap_i = (10 − Score_i) × Weight_i × 10

Maturity Bands: Critical (0–29) | Emerging (30–49) | Developing (50–69) | Proficient (70–84) | Optimized (85–100)

Framework Weight Examples (IAM / Data / Vuln / Log / IR / Gov):

SOC 2 Type II: 20% / 20% / 15% / 20% / 10% / 15%
PCI DSS v4.0: 22% / 25% / 18% / 15% / 10% / 10%
HIPAA: 18% / 28% / 12% / 17% / 13% / 12%
GDPR: 15% / 30% / 12% / 18% / 10% / 15%
FedRAMP Moderate: 22% / 20% / 18% / 20% / 12% / 8%
ISO 27001: 18% / 18% / 15% / 17% / 12% / 20%

Assumptions & References

Domain scores (0–10) represent a self-assessed or auditor-assessed maturity level; 0 = no controls, 10 = fully implemented and continuously improved.
Framework weights are derived from control family sizes and audit emphasis documented in each standard. They are approximations intended for readiness estimation, not a substitute for a formal audit.
SOC 2 weights reflect the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (2017, updated 2022); IAM and Logging align with CC6 and CC7 criteria families.
PCI DSS v4.0 weights reflect Requirements 3–4 (data protection), 6–7 (vulnerability/IAM), and 10–11 (logging/scanning) — PCISSC, 2022.
HIPAA weights reflect the Security Rule (45 CFR §164.308–312); the Data domain maps to §164.312(a)(2)(iv) encryption and §164.312(e)(2)(ii).
FedRAMP Moderate weights reflect NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 control family counts for a Moderate baseline (AC, AU, IA, IR, RA, SI families).
GDPR weights reflect Article 32 technical measures; data protection is the largest single obligation for cloud processors.
ISO 27001:2022 weights reflect Annex A control distribution across the six domains (93 controls across 4 themes).
A score ≥ 85 suggests audit readiness; formal certification requires independent third-party assessment and evidence collection.
Gap scores identify where investment yields the highest compliance return per point of improvement.
