Where it helps

Readiness support helps when an independent audit is approaching or an existing quality system needs to transition to a new edition. The priorities depend on the sites and processes in scope, the current evidence, and the certification body’s audit plans.

How the work takes shape

NexSar reviews the agreed scope and applicable edition, samples the records likely to be reviewed, and highlights items that still need evidence or action. For transitions, the team uses the confirmed timetable to prioritize changes and verify that they are in use.

Workflow stages include Audit scope, then Readiness review, then Preparation plan.

Example engagement

Before an initial audit, a business could review its scope, management review decisions, and internal audit findings with NexSar and assign owners to the remaining evidence gaps.
