Pre-Launch Risk Assessment
The Pre-Launch Risk Assessment (PLRA) is Verdict's structured cybersecurity + operational review for teams approaching a public launch. It produces an evidence-backed PDF report scoped to your protocol, chain, token, oracle, vault, organisation, or bridge.
Assessment process
Once your engagement letter is countersigned and payment confirmed, a Verdict admin schedules your assessment call. During the call, the admin walks the 113-point assessment (106 NIST CSF v2.0 controls + Verdict-specific controls for your entity type) and captures answers live. Each "Not Implemented" control is paired with a recommendation tailored to your project. After sign-off, your PDF report is generated automatically and a download link is delivered to your account email. The download link expires after 24 hours; you can re-issue from your dashboard.
What you get
- Cover sheet with entity metadata + Verdict approver attestation
- Executive summary framing the NIST CSF v2.0 + CMM + SCF methodology
- Prioritised recommendations digest (P1 critical → P5 minor)
- Maturity tier table — one tier (0-5) per NIST function with rationale
- Per-function detail of every control: status, explanation, recommendation
- Verdict-specific controls section (entity-type-dependent)
- Signed approver block + redistribution clause
Re-issuing the download link
Open the engagement card on your dashboard and click the "Download report" button. A fresh signed link is generated server-side and starts a new 24-hour window. The PDF itself is unchanged between re-issues; only the access link rotates.
