Auditor-led Readiness
Certification-grade confidence. Everything in Start, plus an internal auditor who reviews your evidence, validates gaps, and drives remediation.
Evidence your board can trust
Self-assessment only goes so far. When you need defensible evidence and a readiness statement for certification, you need an independent auditor in the loop. Grow adds that layer without slowing you down.

How the audit works
Baseline (automated)
Your team runs the Innovation Pulse and collects initial evidence through the Hub. Same as Start.
Auditor review
Our qualified internal auditor reviews your evidence, samples documentation, and identifies gaps you may have missed.
Findings and remediation
You receive a structured findings log with corrective actions. The Hub tracks progress against each finding.
Readiness statement
Once remediation is complete, you receive a formal readiness statement your board and certification body can rely on.
Typical timeline
3 to 6 months from baseline to readiness statement. Audit phase takes 2 to 4 weeks.

Common questions
Is this an ISO certification?
No. This is an internal audit that prepares you for certification. The readiness statement gives your certification body confidence that you are ready.
Who is the auditor?
A qualified internal auditor with ISO 56001 expertise. They work independently from the consulting team to ensure objectivity.
How long does the audit take?
Typically 2 to 4 weeks for the audit phase, depending on organisation size. The full engagement including baseline runs over 3 to 6 months.
Can we start with Start and add the auditor later?
Yes. Many clients begin with the automated baseline and add auditor support when they are ready to pursue certification.
