Audit and BS25999 Accreditation
Audit your existing business continuity management system or your business continuity capability either as a benchmark, for compliance, to become BS25999 accredited or for continuous improvement. Various types of audit; self, internal, external and BS25999 are available.
Self Assessment
Design of a questionnaire or interview and marking scheme. This can be sent out and completed within minutes. It is the simplest way to ascertain whether documents or deliverables exist, are work in progress or do not exist.
Internal Audit
This area is our assistance with an Internal Audit department or individual to help them understand the quality and quantative aspects of BCM. This will aid measurement beyond “what exists” to see if what exists is fit for purpose by comparison (benchmarking), quality (process and activity trail) and judgement (intellectual) skills.
External Audit
Independent audit beyond the scope of internal audit. Observations and recommendations for continuous improvement and contractual obligation. Often we are utilised to audit along the supply chain to report on BCM capability.
Benchmark
We can Benchmark against other departments, competitors, industrial sectors and best practice.
BS25999 Accreditation
Ian Speirs MBCI, our lead auditor passed the inaugural BSI BS25999 Lead Auditors Course in December 2007. We can conduct business continuity management system audits (BMCS) in accordance with the requirements of BS25999-2:2007.
These audits range from gap analysis, through internal audit and self assessment to validation and certification for the BS25999 standard.
Whether you wish to review your own BCMS or those of a supplier or customer, we can arrange an audit programme to suit your needs. BS25999 accreditation and certification can appear complex; there are different stages which take different times, resources and achieve different results. Call us for free (no obligation) advice and assistance.
Our audit services also apply to the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and various other international standards and legislation.
All the above can be represented in the formats of a dashboard, Red Amber Green (RAG) status, graphs, reports and presentations. They can prove either the existence or quality of documentation, training and capability.
