Begin with a self-check or human-reviewed assessment. Add the secure readiness environment when you start a managed plan. Then choose how many sources, evidence reviews, and active priorities your team needs each month.
Use the free 28-question check, a 21-control Validated Readiness Review, or a 42-control Full Readiness Assessment.
Authorize the source, register the installation, confirm the security boundary, test synchronization, and accept the commissioned service.
Luminary maintains the application, reviews evidence, updates your Readiness Profile, and carries the active priorities included in your plan.
See where your nonprofit stands. No evidence reviewed yet.
A human-reviewed baseline on your highest-priority controls.
A complete baseline across all seven domains, with a sequenced roadmap.
Self-reported checks show a directional band. Validated reviews and assessments add submitted evidence and human review. This is preparation, not certification. It is not an audit, legal opinion, funding prediction, or funder endorsement.
Commissioning creates the client-controlled boundary before continuous evidence discovery begins. We authorize sources, install and register the environment, validate the network and security setup, build the first inventory, test synchronization, and complete client acceptance.
One supported installation pattern and one approved source with standard security and network requirements.
Multiple systems, nonstandard hosting, enterprise identity, private model routing, or additional security coordination.
Your network is not left open to Luminary. The application uses narrow outbound connections, tenant-specific credentials, signed work, no public inbound ports, and no unrestricted terminal capability.
Your plan changes the number of sources, review batches, active priorities, and check-ins. Every plan keeps the same client-control and human-review safeguards.
For a smaller nonprofit that needs one accountable baseline and one readiness priority moving at a time.
For nonprofits managing multiple funders, programs, or reporting cycles and needing faster progress.
For multi-program organizations with complex systems, more approved sources, and executive coordination needs.
