# Post-Audit Improvement Plan

> An audit is a milestone, not the finish line. This module turns ISO 22301 audit results into a clear, actionable improvement plan that strengthens your resilience year after year.

Fixinc reviews audit results, whether from an internal process or external accreditation, and develops a focused resilience improvement plan. The service helps prioritise actions, allocate responsibilities, and link gaps to relevant disciplines. Plans are synchronised into the [Maintenance Program](https://docs.fixinc.io/maintenance-program.md) so accreditation is used to drive measurable improvements rather than simply maintained.

Audit insights are transformed into a roadmap that is realistic, linked to the organisation's risk landscape, and aligned to operational requirements. Whether an organisation has just passed or missed certification, the service sharpens resilience in a way that makes sense for people and stakeholders.

## Delivery Approach

The ISO 22301 Post-Audit Resilience Improvement Plan follows a four-step methodology:

1. **Plan**: Agile, first-principles planning ensures smooth rollout of the refreshed programme
2. **Do**: Implementation is rolled out smoothly across the organisation
3. **Check**: Draft plans are validated through testing and review
4. **Act**: Teams are prepared when improvement plans are activated in real-world situations

## Related Disciplines

- [BIA Review](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/iso22301aligned-bia-review.md): Business impact analysis alignment with ISO 22301 requirements
- [Document Control](https://docs.fixinc.io/disciplines/iso223012019-documented-information-review.md): Review of documented information for audit compliance

## Engagement Process

### Initial Consultation

- A link is sent via email from the Advisory team with time selection options for phone, Teams, Zoom, or in-person meetings
- 30-45 minute discussion to understand objectives using prepared questions, sharing delivery approach, and Q&A
- Proposal and quote delivered within 24 hours detailing scope of work
- One week later, proposal discussion followed by final quote for signing within 10 minutes
- If not signed within five weeks, it is assumed timing is not suitable

### Delivery Phases

**Review and Health Check**: All implementations start with a deep review of existing arrangements. Benchmarks are set based on best practice and ISO standards.

**Design and Develop**: With appropriate involvement from the client team, the discipline is built to the highest quality available as part of the ISO 22301 programme.

**Validate**: Where appropriate, the new discipline is tested and validated. This provides tangible evidence of capability and maturity to stakeholders.

**Maintain**: A plan is built to ensure the improvement plan runs annually, addressing the common setback of lost momentum in embedded resilience programmes.
