Gap Assessments

Our customers can select from a list of available standards in our portfolio and based on the selection, our consultants will use a comprehensive deep-dive checklist to assess your business’ management system maturity and current compliance.

Duration of the gap assessment will depend on your organization’s size and complexity of the scope of products and services it offers. The results of the gap assessment will provide you with

Our 4-Step Approach

Throught the use of our comprehensive checklist spacifically designed to the standard being audited,  we will speak with your business SMEs at relevant functions to capture key information on existing practices and how they conform

Once our team has thoroughly reviewed the state of your business’ management system, we will carefully evaluate the results of the assessment and identify areas where we observed the system is

  • Conforming
  • Conforming with areas of concern
  • Minor lapse in meeting standard requirements
  • Major lapse in meeting standard requirements

We view the identification of gaps as opportunities to strengthen the system of your business. Typically gap assessments only provide the results. Our team will aid your SMEs in addressing every identified gap tp bring your business to conformance to the desired standard

Depending on the maturity of the management system, there may exist several areas of concern with varying degrees of impact to the overall conformance.

Our team will develop a detailed Plan of Action (PoA) that will give top management a birds-eye view on duration and effort for each function to reach conformance.

Once the Plan of Action (PoA) has been completed, our team will carry out a full-system internal audit of your business management system, and provide you with a holistic audit report that would mirror a third-party audit.
