Gap Assessment

Understand where your systems stand.

Gap Assessment

Before developing or upgrading your management system, it’s important to know where you are starting from.

A Gap Assessment provides that foundation, giving clarity, direction, and confidence before you begin a system implementation or improvement project, or prepare for ISO certification.

Our Gap Assessments evaluate your current management systems, processes, and documentation against the requirements of the relevant ISO standards (ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001).

What a Gap Assessment delivers

Clarity

See exactly how your current management system compares with ISO requirements: what’s compliant, what’s missing, and what can be improved.

Direction

Get a clear, actionable plan showing where to focus your time and resources for the biggest impact and fastest progress.

Confidence

Head into certification knowing what to expect. No panic. No last-minute scrambles. Just a system that’s built to perform every day.

Value

Avoid wasted effort or unnecessary complexity. Starting with a clear baseline saves time, money, and frustration later in your implementation.

Our approach

We tailor each assessment to your business, focusing on how ISO requirements apply in your real-world operations.

This includes:

  • Reviewing existing documents, registers, and procedures
  • Talking with key personnel to understand how processes work day to day
  • Evaluating the maturity of your current systems and their integration across quality, safety, and environment

The result is a comprehensive Gap Assessment Report that outlines:

  • Each identified gap and the related ISO clause
  • Recommended actions to close the gap
  • Risks of leaving issues unresolved
  • Practical next steps toward certification

What happens next?

After receiving your report, we meet with you for a one-hour review session to:

We take you through each part of the Gap Assessment Report — explaining what was reviewed, what the findings mean, and how they connect to ISO requirements.

Your consultant answers any questions about what the standards require and how those requirements apply in practice to your business operations.

Together, we outline your next move — whether it’s starting full implementation, refining your existing system, or scheduling focused improvement work.

This stage also gives you a chance to get to know how we work: collaborative, practical, and focused on building systems that make sense for your business.

Why does it matter?

A Gap Assessment isn’t just a compliance exercise. It’s a chance to understand your business better, align your operations with best practice, and start your ISO journey with a clear, achievable plan.

When you start with clarity, direction, and confidence, implementation becomes easier, and certification follows naturally.
