Custom
Build the assessment your programme actually needs — your questions, your scoring, your evidence requirements — and get the same dashboard, trend and remediation workflow every published framework gets.
Mapped, monitored, and audit-ready.
Every Custom control has a place in Talarity — with cross-mapping, automated evidence, and continuous validation.
Answer once, prove everywhere. Talarity's mapping engine reuses your evidence across every framework you run.
- Any evidence type available to a built-in framework
- Scheduled collection from connected systems
- Uploaded artifacts with freshness tracking
Your Custom dashboard
Every completed Custom assessment updates this automatically — where you stand now, how that has changed, and which areas need work.
What gets easier with Talarity.
A questionnaire that does not match a published framework ends up in a spreadsheet, outside every workflow.
A custom assessment is a first-class assessment: same scoring, same evidence gating, same dashboard, same remediation.
Bespoke assessments produce a score nobody can compare to anything.
The dashboard trends every completed run, so a custom assessment shows movement over time like any other.
Custom questions duplicate work already done against a standard.
Questions can be cross-mapped to controls you already hold evidence for, so an answer reuses the artifact rather than asking again.
Custom — common questions
- Do custom assessments get a dashboard?
- Yes — the same per-assessment dashboard every framework gets: the latest score, the trend across previous runs, performance by area, and the completed-run history.
- Can we require evidence for particular answers?
- Yes. Custom questions support the same evidence gating as built-in frameworks, so a claim above a threshold can be blocked until the supporting artifact is attached.
- Can it be sent to a third party?
- Yes. Custom assessments can be issued to vendors or to linked organisations, and their responses and evidence come back into the same workflow.
Working with Custom
Step-by-step walkthroughs from the Talarity library.
- Compliance·10 min readBuild your own assessment — scored, evidence-gated and versioned from the first saveTurn the questionnaire your team keeps in a spreadsheet into a Talarity assessment: import it, add framework questions from the Question Pool, weight what matters, require evidence, publish, share it with child organizations, give it an owner and a review date, and run it against a linked account.
- Compliance·9 min readControl testing end to end — from a written procedure to a verified fixFollow one control through the whole testing cycle: a versioned procedure, a population sampled with a reproducible draw, an effectiveness test that cites the sample it used, an exception raised when the control does not hold, and a fix verified by someone other than the person who made it.
- Compliance·7 min readFramework readiness to audit package — the whole cycle on one screenAudit prep usually means a spreadsheet scramble — chasing evidence, tracking which controls are covered, re-checking what's expired. Talarity keeps a live readiness picture for every framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, and more) — coverage, gaps, evidence freshness — and packages it into an auditor-ready export in one click.
- Compliance·7 min readContinuous compliance is a tooling problem, not a process problemEvery compliance program eventually decides it needs to be 'continuous.' Most then try to fix it with process. The actual fix is upstream — in the tools that make evidence freshness a default, not a sprint.
