FAQ

Questions before you start?

A readiness assessment is a useful starting point, not a legal conclusion.

Is GapCheckUK legal advice?

No. It provides general readiness guidance and is not legal advice, certification, regulatory approval, or a substitute for specialist review.

Does completing an assessment mean my business is compliant?

No. The score highlights potential gaps and priorities based on your answers. You remain responsible for deciding what action your organisation needs.

How long does an assessment take?

Most SMEs should allow around 15 minutes for the initial health check, depending on the organisation and questions that apply.

What happens to documents I upload?

Evidence is stored privately in your account and linked to the relevant finding. It is not publicly visible.

Can I retake an assessment?

Yes. A retake starts a new assessment run while preserving your previous history.

Can I cancel a subscription?

Yes. Cancellation stops renewal, while Premium access continues until the end of the period already paid for.
