Management System Gap Assessment

Service summary

A limited comparison of an existing management system against selected requirements. The assessment identifies where available evidence does not demonstrate conformity and clarifies the boundaries of the review.

The service is non-consultative and subject to strict impartiality screening. It does not develop procedures, prescribe corrective solutions, act as a prohibited internal audit or guarantee successful certification.

Key objectives

• Identify requirement-to-evidence gaps
• Assess documented and implemented coverage
• Clarify unsupported conformity claims
• Provide a bounded readiness picture

Methodology

Selected requirements are mapped to existing evidence and implementation, with findings limited to gaps and no design or implementation advice.

• Confirm eligibility, certification relationships, scope and permitted assessment purpose.
• Agree the requirements, editions and evidence expected for review.
• Examine existing documentation and available implementation records.
• Interview responsible personnel and observe selected activities where needed.
• Record demonstrated conformity, gaps and unavailable evidence separately.
• Issue a non-consultative report without certification assurances or solutions.
