We help you demonstrate that your supply chain is controlled, documented and secure, and prepare your teams to face audits with confidence.
Executive overview
Assess maturity, close control gaps and prepare your supply chain for customer, internal and third-party audits.
Customers, insurers, lenders and authorities increasingly ask organizations to evidence how they control suppliers, transport partners, goods in transit and supply chain security. Audits often reveal that practices exist but are undocumented, inconsistent across sites or not owned.
We assess maturity against the relevant requirements, identify gaps, help design proportionate controls and prepare evidence and teams ahead of audits. We prepare organizations for audit and certification; certification itself is granted only by accredited third-party bodies, and we do not guarantee its outcome.
Business challenges addressed
- 01
Upcoming audits with unclear readiness
A customer, internal or third-party audit is scheduled, but no one can say with confidence where the organization stands.
- 02
Limited control over third parties
Suppliers, carriers and subcontractors are onboarded and monitored inconsistently, leaving risk exposure poorly understood.
- 03
Undocumented practices
Processes work in practice but lack procedures, records and evidence that auditors can rely on.
- 04
Findings that keep recurring
Corrective actions are agreed after each audit but not tracked to closure, so the same findings reappear.
Services and solutions
- 01
Supply chain maturity assessments
We assess processes, governance, controls and data against a structured maturity model to show where you stand and what to prioritize.
- 02
Logistics process audits and gap assessments
We review warehousing, transport and order management processes against your policies, contracts and applicable requirements, and document gaps with supporting evidence.
- 03
Supplier and transport partner risk assessments
We assess third parties on operational, financial, compliance and security risk, and define proportionate onboarding and monitoring requirements.
- 04
Audit readiness programs
We plan and run readiness programs ahead of customer, internal or third-party audits, including evidence preparation, mock audits and team briefings.
- 05
Corrective action planning
We translate findings into root-cause analyses and corrective action plans with owners, deadlines and closure evidence, and track them to completion.
- 06
Supply chain control frameworks
We design key controls over procurement, inventory, transport and partner performance, with clear ownership, testing routines and documentation.
- 07
Supply chain security management alignment
We assess your security management practices against ISO 28000:2022 and support readiness for a certification audit, which remains the decision of an accredited certification body.

Frequently asked questions
Can you certify our supply chain?
No. We are not a certification body. We prepare your organization for audits and certification; certification decisions are made solely by accredited third-party bodies, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
Which audits can you help us prepare for?
Customer and supplier audits, internal audits, insurer or lender reviews and third-party audits against management system standards. For regulatory matters, we coordinate with qualified specialists.
Can this work be combined with broader risk and compliance programs?
Yes. Supply chain controls and risk assessments can feed directly into your enterprise risk management and internal control frameworks, which our governance, risk and compliance practice supports.
