In any period of rapid change, there’s a risk of standards failure. With BSI, you have a partner uniquely positioned to understand not only standards, but the operational risk represented by inappropriate or out-of-date standards. The result: standards newly fit for purpose - and for the future.
- Assess the existing standard programmes and provide system analysis
- Validate the suite of technical specifications/ standards
- Design, structure and develop documents suitable for PS and specifically designed to be appropriate for subsequent conversion into Publicly Available Specification (PAS) in requested.
- Research and identify standards and programmes that currently exist and are being developed in the UK and at a European level to assist in the development of the document’s content and avoid duplication
- Coach and train all principle authors of the document in drafting standards
- Assist in the develop of Private standards and prepare standards for certification
- Provide UML modelling for standards portfolio
