New ISO 22000 Gap Analysis Tool for your FSMS

Qudos announce powerful new ISO22000 Gap Analysis tool 

28 February 2024.

There are numerous frameworks available on which to base an FSMS (Food Safety Management System) and they all have their individual merits. The international standard ISO22000 is one the leading frameworks. It is especially valuable for organisations that need to provide formal assurance and may also have or wish to have certification on other topics.

ISO22000 is closely aligned with the current versions of other management system standards (such as ISO9001 Quality, ISO14001 Environment, and ISO45001 Occupational Health & Safety).  This offers another significant advantage. It provides a great opportunity to establish an integrated management system for savings on administration and certification.

Taking the first step

Conducting a Gap Analysis is the first step to establishing an FSMS based on the ISO22000 standard. In other words, a check of current controls against its requirements. The analysis can be performed in-house or with the help of a professional consultant. Either way, a Gap Analysis checklist is essential.

New, fully integrated Gap Analysis Tool

Qudos are proud to announce the release of the fully-integrated ISO22000 Gap Analysis tool in our Qudos³ IMS software. This offers a full ISO22000 checklist with verification and results fields. Each item may each be linked to independently assigned Actions to address any gaps identified. These Actions may be easily monitored for progress until the gaps are closed out. This powerful tool is available now on all cloud-hosted installations of Qudos³ IMS software and will shortly be made released for on-premise installations. It is just the latest in a series of Gap Analysis tools for ISO management system standards.

In addition to the gap analysis tool, the software can also help you plan and run an ISO22000 Internal Audit program and Management Review.

Contact us for further details about the new Gap Analysis tool or Qudos³ IMS software in general, or help with performing the gap analysis. Qudos partners with specialist food safety auditors and can arrange to provide the gap analysis and additional services for you.
