Step-by-step guide to selecting statementsAnchor SelectingStatements SelectingStatements
To select compliance statements the providers must choose from:
Identify statements that make sense in the context of the question
Tip title Consider the audience Both providers and evaluators will see the compliance statements. Please consider these hypothetical questions:
- Does your business make widgets?
Sensible options: "Yes" and "No" - Please indicate your solution's adherence to the Australian standard
Sensible options: "Fully Compliant", "Partially Compliant", and "Non-Compliant" - Please confirm you agree to be bound by the non-disclosure agreement
Sensible optiona: "Agreed" - Please specify your preferred email address for accounts
Sensible optionb: "Response Provided" - Please attach high level design diagrams
Sensible optionc: "Response Provided - ( Response Required )"
a. This option must be selected by the provider
b. This option is hidden from the provider
c. This option displays "Response Provided" but cannot be submitted without additional information- Does your business make widgets?
Decide which statements require additional information
Tip title Don't make it hard Providers will be confused if the question doesn't match the options. Please consider these hypothetical questions:
- Good: If your solution is partially compliant please specify its deficiencies
Sensible options: "n/a - Fully Compliant", "n/a - Non-Compliant", and "Response Provided - ( Response Required )" - Bad: Please specify where your solution is not fully compliant
Selected options: "Fully Compliant", "Partially Compliant - ( Response Required )", and "Non-Compliant - ( Response Required )"
In the bad example:
- The question does not apply to a fully compliant solution but "n/a" (the sensible choice) is not an option
- When the solution is non-compliant, the provider is being asked to unnecessarily enter additional information
- Good: If your solution is partially compliant please specify its deficiencies
Use Ctrl+Click (Windows) ⌘+Click (Mac) to select and deselect the statements
Info Statements ending with " - ( Response Required )" require allow responses or allow attachments to be selected
