Gap & Current-State Analysis
Identifying the differences between the current and target states.
A gap analysis is more than ticking off the clauses of a standard. Current practice is examined on site and in the records, the distance to the target state is shown through concrete examples, and each gap is placed in a priority order that weighs the effort required against the risk carried. Where to start stops being a matter of opinion.
Who is it for?

Questions we hear about this service
If your question is not answered here, we can go through it directly in a short conversation.
The work combines an on-site review, an examination of records and interviews with process owners. The duration is proportional to the scope and the number of sites; the number of days is agreed once the scope is set.
No. Each gap is shown with concrete evidence, weighed for the effort it takes against the risk it carries, and prioritised together with a proposal for closing it. The point is not to count deficiencies but to make clear what should be done first.
Yes, and for most organizations it is the first step. The same method applies to any target state, not only to certification.
You can. Our Operational Maturity Analysis package is built for exactly that, with the questions, the scoring and the reporting structure ready to use.
