The essentials

What is gap analysis?

An ISO gap analysis compares your existing management system, working practices and records with the requirements of your chosen standard. It identifies what is already working, what needs attention and what evidence you still need.

For businesses starting certification, adding another standard or reviewing a system that has fallen behind.

Useful answers

Gap analysis. Your questions answered.

Is a gap analysis the same as a certification audit?

No. It is a preparation and improvement exercise. An independent certification body conducts the certification assessment and makes the certification decision.

Do we need a complete management system before starting?

No. We can review what you already have, including informal working practices, and identify what needs to be developed.

Can you help us implement the action plan?

Yes. We can agree implementation support, training, internal audits and preparation for your external assessment.

What affects the cost?

Your chosen standards, number of sites, business activities and existing system determine the review work. Tell us your objectives and we will provide a tailored consultancy quote.
