scope:

This Standard provides guidance for the use of a maturity model for phased implementation of ANSI/ASIS PSC.1-2012 as a series of steps designed to help organizations:

• Evaluate where they currently are with regard to quality assurance management consistent with respect for human rights, legal obligations, and good practices.

• Set goals for where they want to go, and benchmark where they are relative to those goals.

• Plot a business/mission appropriate path to get there.

The model outlines six phases ranging from an unplanned approach to managing events, to going beyond the requirements of the Standard, and creating a holistic environment for quality assurance management.
