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·8 min readPackage your audit evidence once — for the auditor, regulator, or customerAn auditor asks for your evidence and it's scattered across framework reports, vendor attestations, policy sign-offs, and resilience tests. Evidence Distribution Packages assemble the signed artifacts you already produced into one immutable package, then hand it to each audience as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy — with a record of who received what.
- 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.
- Compliance·14 min readThe evidence nobody can deleteA legal hold is a promise that a specific piece of evidence will still exist months from now, made to people who will check. This is where you place one in Talarity, what the record has to survive, and — just as important — what a hold does not freeze.
