Objective
The statement of work structure is intended to align Varydn and the customer on scope, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and payment timing before implementation starts. It should reduce ambiguity around what is delivered, when it is accepted, and how scope changes are handled.
In Scope
- Gap analysis against FIPS 140-3 requirements
- Migration plan with prioritized actions
- Implementation guidance and integration support
- Evidence preparation and validation support
Primary Deliverables
- Gap Analysis Report
- Migration Plan
- Integration Artifacts
- Test Evidence Pack
Acceptance Framework
Gap Analysis accepted on receipt and customer sign-off.
Migration Plan accepted once tasks, milestones, and owners are approved.
Integration Artifacts accepted when agreed tests pass.
Evidence Pack accepted when it satisfies the customer checklist.
Timeline And Payment Structure
Illustrative Timeline
- Week 0: kickoff and scoping
- Week 1-2: gap analysis and planning
- Week 3-8: implementation support
- Week 9-12: validation support and handoff
Illustrative Payment Schedule
- Discovery and Gap Analysis: $7,000 due at kickoff
- Integration and Implementation: $28,000 split across implementation start and completion
- Validation Support and Evidence Pack: $10,000 due on delivery
Client Responsibilities
- Provide access to code, infrastructure, and relevant documentation
- Assign technical contacts for approval checkpoints
- Provide timely review feedback during delivery phases
Change Control
Any material scope change should be documented through a written change order before work proceeds. This protects both delivery predictability and acceptance clarity.
