Gap analysis and internal audit
An independent view of your system — where you stand against the standard, what is missing and what to do first. Before certification, before a surveillance audit, or for an inherited system.
Gap analysis and internal audit
A gap analysis compares your current state with the requirements of the standard and answers the question “how far are we from certification”. An internal audit is a mandatory part of every ISO system and checks whether it works the way it is described.
We audit following ISO 19011 guidance — with a plan, sampling, evidence and objective findings. You get a report that management understands and the team can use.

01 Can an external consultant perform the internal audit?
Yes. The standards require the auditor to be objective and impartial — an external auditor is the usual choice for small companies.

A gap analysis assesses readiness before implementation; an internal audit checks a system that is already running.
