ISO GAP Audits

Clause-by-clause Readiness Reviews in South Africa

A gap audit gives you a clear baseline – where you are today versus what the chosen standard requires. We benchmark your current practices, identify nonconformities and risks, and deliver a practical action plan to reach conformity and certification readiness.

What is a GAP audit?

An independent, clause-by-clause review of your policies, procedures, records and operations against the selected standard and your business context. Outcome – a focused roadmap that closes gaps efficiently.

Scope we cover
ISO 9001 – FSSC 22000 and ISO 22000 – ISO 45001 – ISO 14001 – ISO 26000.
Single site or multi-site, on site or remote where appropriate.
How we audit
  • DISCOVER – document review, process maps and risk context.
  • OBSERVE – interviews, process walks and sample records.
  • ANALYSE – clause-by-clause findings with risk ratings.
  • ROADMAP – prioritised actions, responsibilities and timelines. Optional support to close actions.

When to run a GAP audit
