Define information assets, service continuity, outsourcing, customer data and regulatory responsibilities within the service scope. Define the scope, review existing evidence and verify the relevant assessment route.
Define information assets, service continuity, outsourcing, customer data and regulatory responsibilities within the service scope.
Trace a customer transaction through access permissions, outsourced processing and service recovery; confidentiality and continuity failures have different consequences.
Compare the asset and risk register with actual account privileges, incident logs, supplier responsibilities and recorded recovery-test results.
If a recovery test restores systems but leaves transactions unreconciled, record the continuity gap before declaring the service restored.
These examples help define the enquiry; they are not a universal mandatory checklist.
These are conditional preparation examples, not actual customer cases or a mandatory checklist. Product, site and the applicable programme determine which evidence is relevant.

Describe the actual activity, products, sites and the result sought.
Compare the requested route with existing evidence, applicable requirements, competence and impartiality conditions.
Confirm the relevant assessor, scope and procedure; any site assessment depends on the actual programme.
Keep assessment findings, the authorised decision and any follow-up obligations separate from the enquiry.
The applicant remains responsible for its systems, procedures, implementation and accurate records. QRS first reviews the enquiry scope, competence, applicable programme conditions and impartiality before accepting work. QRS does not provide or subcontract client-specific management-system design or implementation consultancy. Generic information and review of existing evidence do not replace the applicant’s implementation or the authorised body’s assessment and decision. This industry guide does not establish a programme licence or accreditation for QRS.
Identify actual products or services, processes, sites, workforce, outsourced activities and relevant legal and customer requirements. Record the assessment boundary before selecting a route.
No. The purpose, applicable legislation, customer or tender requirements and existing organisational arrangements must be considered separately. A sector label alone does not establish a certification obligation.
Asset, risk and access records, Continuity plans and test results, Incident, supplier and compliance evidence. These are illustrative starting examples, not a fixed mandatory list. The actual product, site and selected programme determine what is relevant.
Check the actual legal entity, current status, standard or programme, sector and geographical scope in the relevant official register. A programme name, logo or another entity’s certificate does not prove QRS authority.
Compare the relevant service route and confirm the exact role and scope at enquiry.
