Gap Analysis
A gap analysis provides you with a risk-based approach for assessing your current Management Systems or procedures against your chosen Standard, the National and International Standards or industry best practices to improve your organization’s performance.
With a gap analysis carried out by Horizon, you benefit from the experience and expertise of our independent auditors. Our auditors take a close look at your existing processes and procedures, and benchmark your existing Management System to drive performance improvement.
The gap analysis approach is right for you during the pandemic and is a good introduction to more formal auditing and gives your team the opportunity to understand what an ISO certification audit will entail.
