Gap Analysis & Pre-Certification

Overview

Booking a certification audit before you're ready costs time, money and credibility. We assess your current state against the target standard and give you a realistic, prioritised path to a first-time pass.

Challenges we solve

Uncertainty about readiness before booking a certification audit
Long lists of gaps with no sense of priority or effort
Previous audit failures with unclear root causes
Budget and timeline pressure to certify by a fixed date

Our approach

Assess current state against the target standard (ISO 22000, FSSC, BRCGS or other)
Rank gaps by risk, audit-criticality and effort to close
Build a realistic roadmap and timeline to audit-readiness
Support closure of priority gaps ahead of the certification audit

Deliverables

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead of our audit should we do this?

Ideally 3–6 months, to leave enough time to close priority gaps without rushing.

Which standards do you assess against?

ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS and HACCP-based systems — tell us your target and we'll scope accordingly.
