Email or telephone + 44 (0)845 070 1750 and talk to us about how our supplier audit and supply chain assurance service might work for you!

Supplier audits (part of supply chain auditing and supply chain assurance) are for organisations that want to make sure they get the level of service they need from key suppliers, including aspects relating to

• Security management systems for the supply chain (and ISO28000)
• Information security (and ISO/IEC 27001),
• Business continuity (and BS25999/BS25777),
• Quality (and ISO9001 and/or ISO14001 and/or OHSAH18001), and
• Other risks.

Good practice in this area will help the organisation demonstrate to its shareholders and customers that it is itself a reliable and trustworthy supplier, as well as helping the board and management demonstrate good levels of control and governance.

Our supplier audit and supply chain assurance service is non-sector specific and includes both training and consultancy. It ensures you deliver the degree of assurance you and your stakeholders require with maximum efficiency.

Our consultants ensure your supplier audit and monitoring regime provide the appropriate degree of assurance for your business by optimising the use of data collection and the correct balance of remote and on-site auditing. Where appropriate, we recommend the use of ISO28000, the management system standard for supply chain security.

The service commences with an assessment of any existing arrangements followed by a facilitated session with key players to develop a suitable risk approach that informs the development of an audit and monitoring programme that relates to the degree of dependency of your operations on each supplier.

Our consultants ensure your arrangements give due consideration to a number of factors and integrate them all into a single scheme.  The topics covered can, subject to your requirements, include:

• Business continuity;
• Information security;
• Quality assurance and control;
• Environmental issues;

Our consultants have worked on supplier assurance schemes with key players and in a number of sectors, including:

• Financial services;
• Gaming industry;
• Print solutions;
• Pharmaceuticals;
• Debit and credit card manufacturers.
