Creating a strong foundation

To increase the value of your audit, and to give you the best platform possible for seamless delivery, BSI conducts a series of checks to ensure that your programme will comply with relevant product and certification schemes. This stage also ensures that the audit is scoped correctly and that it can progress frictionlessly.

Meeting business needs

Client requirements are assessed against participant locations, relevant schemes and ways of working
The audit is then optimized to meet the requirements of each client and reviewed on a monthly basis to ensure continued effectiveness

Assessing industry requirements

We’ll evaluate sector-specific requirements to ensure the audit is compliant with all accreditation bodies across more than 40 sectors, globally
This will be done monthly to ensure consistent compliance and risk mitigation through the whole process

Situating the audit

We embed critical systems and product certifications within the audit scope, ensuring that the audit can proceed without friction or missing elements
This will include the capture and storage of all mandatory requirements for in-person audits, making them more efficient and providing peace of mind
