Questions
Is this really free?+
Yes, permanently. The Governance Readiness Lab is free and does not start a trial, ask for a card, or activate a subscription.
Do I need an account?+
You can read this page without one. The assessment, your score and your Lab dashboard need a free MPG account, so your reading and history stay yours.
Is this a certification or an audit?+
No. It is a self-reported educational assessment. It is not a certification, a legal opinion, or an independent audit, and it does not establish compliance.
What do you do with my answers?+
They are stored against your own account to show you your reading and history. They are not published, and no organization-specific answers are shown in any marketing dashboard.
How often can I take it?+
One reading every 90 days, so the result means something. Your previous readings are kept with the rubric version they were scored against.

The Lab never asks for confidential documents, vendor records, or personal data. Your answers stay against your own account; nothing is published, and no organization-specific answers appear in any marketing dashboard.
