Management System Diagnostic Audit - know your real state in 3-5 days
GAP analysis of your management system: we quickly identify what works, where critical gaps exist, what risks may affect certification, and what to do next. No 'big project' assumptions - just a concrete action plan.
What a diagnostic audit is
A rapid assessment of the real state of your management system: gaps, risks, and an action plan in 3-5 days.
GAP analysis
Assessment of your current state against ISO 9001, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, or another target standard.
System logic check
Whether processes, documents, and records are aligned and functioning as one system.
Gap identification
What must be closed before the audit and what can be postponed without major risk.
Decision baseline
A prioritized implementation or certification-preparation plan.
When diagnostics is the best starting point
GAP analysis gives a clear picture and clear priorities without unnecessary assumptions or oversized projects.
Planning certification for the first time
You need to understand real scope, priorities, and required evidence level before the first audit.
Your system cannot keep up with changes
Processes, team, equipment, or product portfolio changed, and now the actual state must be aligned with documentation.
Audit in 2-3 months
There is a risk of insufficient records and evidence, while there is no time left for large-scale implementation.
You need a prioritized action roadmap
You want concrete next steps, not general recommendations: what, when, and by whom.
What you get after diagnostics
The output is not generic advice, but concrete artifacts for decisions and planning.
Compliance matrix
Complete analysis of standard requirements versus your current state: requirement -> where it is met -> what evidence exists.
Gap register
A clear list of nonconformities with criticality levels: critical / major / minor.
Risk map
Where the system may fail during audit or operations: risk zone -> consequences -> priority.
Corrective action plan
Concrete roadmap: what to do -> who is responsible -> deadline.
How a diagnostic audit is conducted
Four GAP-analysis stages that provide a realistic system picture, reveal gaps, and form an action plan.
Discuss diagnosticsWe define diagnostic boundaries: sites, products, processes, supply chain, and target standard. This avoids 'checking everything' and focuses the review on what is critical.
We review policies, procedures, instructions, logs, protocols, monitoring records, batch traceability, and nonconformity handling. We assess regularity and quality of execution evidence.
We interview key roles (production, quality, procurement, logistics) and compare 'documented process' with actual practice. This reveals real gaps.
We summarize results in a structured report: compliance matrix, gap register, risk map, and prioritized corrective action plan with deadlines.

Laboratories
ISO 17025 GAP analysis: evidence discipline, calibration, and quality control of results.
IT companies
ISO 9001/27001 readiness assessment: processes, risks, access control, and records.
Agribusiness
Quality system diagnostics: suppliers, production, and batch traceability.
Defense industry
Verification of requirement compliance and evidence readiness before certification.

Discuss diagnosticsTypical mistakes before diagnostics
These mistakes reduce GAP-analysis quality and delay certification readiness.
Starting with policy writing
Without mapping real processes and risks first, teams spend time on documents that later must be rewritten.
Reviewing documents only
Records and evidence are ignored, while auditors evaluate execution, not just procedures on paper.
Relying on 'it somehow works'
Standards require controllability and repeatability, not informal habits.
Confusing correction with corrective action
Teams edit records instead of removing root causes. Auditors see this immediately.
Why clients choose our diagnostics
Benefits of Ekontrol GAP analysis compared with internal checks or 'free' checklists.
Independent perspective
We notice what internal teams often stop seeing because of daily routine.
Concrete artifacts
Not generic advice, but a matrix, register, risk map, and deadline-based action plan.
Fast result
3-5 days instead of weeks. You get a practical plan and can start execution immediately.
Diagnostic feedback
What companies say after completing GAP analysis before certification.
I have repeatedly taken training at Ekocontrol and recently had the experience of cooperation during an audit from Fozzy at Sunny Food LLC. What I would like to note is a high level of competence, objectivity, and a fair approach to process evaluation. The audit was constructive and professional, with clear explanations and useful recommendations. I would especially like to note that the Ekocontrol auditor not only checks but also shares practical experience — there is really something to learn. We recommend them as a reliable partner in consulting, training, and enterprise certification.
