point zéro
I'm translating the following sentence in a corporate document on regulatory monitoring software solutions.
The company is offering a full service package that includes "un accompagnement de la mise en place de la solution en mode projet incluant des audits réglementaires de chaque site et la réalisation d'un POINT ZERO de conformité de chaque site".
What is this exactly, and what would we say in English?
Thanks in advance

Non-PRO (1): Chris Hall
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"4.4 Compliance Baseline
The winnowing process should eventually yield a set of assets that the security team deems compliant. This is the baseline against which to track for changes that might indicate a security risk or breach."

Zero is one of four members of the elite among real numbers (along with 1, e, and pi). It is the identity element of addition. No translation that omits the word will be as effective as one that includes it.
