SAC NDPA/GAID Diagnostic Workbench
Self-Guided · NDPC/DPCO/4653
Self-Guided Compliance Diagnostic

Know exactly where you stand on NDPA & GAID — in one guided session.

This workbench walks you through the same four-stage diagnostic that Stephen Alaekwe & Co delivers to clients. Answer as you go; it scores each compliance domain live and builds your gap snapshot, risk analysis, priority actions, and remediation roadmap automatically. Your progress saves in this browser.

How this worksFour stages · about 20 minutes · fully self-contained

Each stage mirrors SAC's professional delivery cycle. You can move freely between stages using the rail above, and return any time — nothing is lost. When you reach Stage 3, the workbench computes your results from everything you've entered. Stage 4 frames your debrief and next steps, and you can export the whole thing as a self-contained report.

Stage 1 — Confirmation & Information Request. Open your engagement, capture your organisation profile, and assemble the documents you'll assess.
Stage 2 — Structured Interview. Work through the ten-domain protocol, scoring each against the evidence you actually hold.
Stage 3 — Review & Report. The workbench classifies you (UHL/EHL/OHL) and generates your gap snapshot, risk analysis, priority actions, and roadmap.
Stage 4 — Debrief & Next Steps. Your headline findings, questions to consider, and the recommended advisory response.
This is a self-assessment aid, not an NDPC determination or legal advice. It mirrors SAC's methodology and the NDPC Guidance Notice / GAID 2025 thresholds. SAC validates every classification in the full diagnostic, delivered within five business days by a licensed DPCO.

Stage 01 · Same-Day Confirmation

Open the engagement & assemble your information set.

In a live SAC engagement, this is where we confirm receipt within one business hour and issue the Initial Information Request. Here, you capture your processing profile and tick off the documents you hold — each one feeds the assessment.

Stage 02 · Structured Interview

Score each domain against the evidence you actually hold.

This is the ten-domain protocol SAC uses in the 60–90 minute structured interview. For each domain, score honestly against what you can demonstrate — a policy that exists but isn't operated is Partial, not In place. Each domain maps to specific NDPA sections and GAID articles.

2AScoring guideBe honest — the report is only as good as the inputs
In place — documented and demonstrably operated.
Partial — exists but incomplete, outdated, or inconsistently operated.
Absent — not in place.
Unsure — you cannot verify it right now (treated as a gap for planning).
Stage 03 · Your Diagnostic Report

Your gap snapshot, risk analysis, priority actions & roadmap.

Generated automatically from everything you entered. This mirrors the structure of the report SAC issues to clients. Review it, then move to your debrief. You can export the full report at any time using the button in the top bar.

Stage 04 · Debrief & Next Steps

What this means — and the recommended response.

In a live engagement, the SAC principal who conducted your diagnostic walks you through this in a focused 45-minute session. Here is your self-guided version: the headline, the questions worth asking, and how SAC can help you act.
