How does our BS 10008 requirements checklist help you achieve certification?

Our BS 10008 checklist can be a useful tool at the beginning of your implementation, used as a gap analysis, to assess how much work you have to do. A gap analysis is useful if you already have a number of policies and procedures in place. For example, you might already have some of the core information policies and procedures in place already.

You can also use the checklist to manage your BS 10008 implementation project – it’s a list of the majority of the requirements you need to meet, so it’s a good starting point as a project management tool.

Finally, it’s a good tool to do a final review just before your Stage 1 audit to make sure you have everything in place.

When do our consultants use this BS 10008 checklist?

We use this requirements checklist at the very beginning of a consultancy engagement to find out what documentation and controls are already in place and determine how much work there is to do.

We use it during the implementation as a project plan, to keep track of progress, determine who’s responsible for doing what, determine where each requirement is documented or what evidence there is that it’s met.

Finally, we also use it just before an audit to list where everything is and verify that we’re ready. This spreadsheet is our core consultancy tool!
