Self-assessment suite

Covering the most commonly used standards, our self-assessment suite lets you assess how well you know a specific standard and check readiness of your management system. The scored assessment reveals where you may have gaps and improvements are needed. Create a baseline and benchmark different sites internally. Or set quantitative targets for a specific area and regularly measure progress made. Regardless of your need, the self-assessment provides detailed insight on your understanding or performance and degree of control.

Boost My Audit

Focus your audits and improvement efforts to develop high-performing management systems that support your business goals. Our digital Boost My Audit tool lets you concentrate on topics critical to your business success. Browse the most common Focus Areas by standard, enterprise risk and business process. Filter by industry or learn which specific UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and ESG dimension each Focus Area supports. The attached checklists help you prepare for an upcoming third-party external audit by DNV or guide your internal audit processes.

Companies are constantly challenged to manage new complex issues while delivering on existing demands. Scrutiny is only increasing and stakeholders demand proof of performance. We apply best-practice auditing techniques, remote and virtual delivery methods and our proprietary Risk Based Certification® methodology.

You select topics (Focus Area) critical to your business success. While checking compliance against the chosen standard, DNV auditors also check how well your management system performs in these Focus Areas.
