Next steps for certification

Once templates are completed, they need to be approved and implemented (i.e., you need to ensure that everyone complies with policies and procedures), and the defined records need to be created and stored.

Once you have the records, you need to perform an internal audit and management review, starting any corrective measures deemed necessary.

During this time, you need to choose your certification body and make the arrangements for the certification audit.
