Banking Technology AdvisoryHow we assess

How we assess

One method, every engagement.

The same method, applied the same way, on every engagement. It is what makes our findings comparable across domains, across banks, and across time.

Five stages

Method

  1. 01

    Discover

    Structured questionnaires, document review, and interviews with key stakeholders. Business and control function heads submit their technology pain points and 3-to-5-year plans through a pre-published template.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Evidence-based validation. Configurations, records, and walkthroughs are verified, never assumed. We distinguish between answered and evidenced.

  3. 03

    Score

    Weighted maturity scoring of each control, benchmarked against Bangladesh Bank frameworks and peer practice.

  4. 04

    Prioritize

    A RAG-rated risk heat map ranks gaps by regulatory exposure and operational impact.

  5. 05

    Recommend

    A sequenced remediation roadmap with quick wins, strategic fixes, and investment cases.

The scoring model

Scoring

Controls are rated on a 0 to 5 maturity scale, where 0 is not implemented and 5 is optimized and evidenced. Each control carries a criticality weight of 1 to 3. Items that do not apply are excluded from the achievable maximum, so a bank is never penalized for a control that is not relevant to it. Domain results are reported as Compliant (70% and above: sustain and monitor), Partial (50 to 69%: material weaknesses with remediation within defined timelines), or Critical (below 50%: immediate action, regulatory and operational exposure).
