Helping you and your partners work better together
What is PAS 11000?
In business, as in other walks of life, teamwork can pay real dividends. Companies that work together can often achieve much more than they can achieve alone. The question is: what’s the best way for businesses to collaborate? How can they most effectively work together?
That’s what PAS 11000 is all about – it provides a framework for collaborative business relationships, to help companies develop and manage their interactions with other organisations for maximum benefit to all.
Using an eight stage approach (see more information on the PAS 11000 stages), the framework is designed to enable organisations of any size and sector to apply best practice principles to its own ways of working, to get the very most out of its business relationships.

Partner integration
By creating a robust framework for establishing effective collaborative programmes, PAS 11000 will help partners maximise value through better integration and increased integrity of the supply chain.
Establishes the foundations for partnering
Because the standard is not sector specific, it can easily be adopted by a wide range of organisations. It’s ideal for establishing a common foundation and language for relationships between private and public sectors.
Improved partner selection
PAS 11000 is an excellent way of independently assessing the collaborative potential of external organisations and internal groups. This helps establish market differentiation through appropriate, and well-formed, partnerships.
Consistency
By establishing a consistent yet flexible approach, PAS 11000 provides a foundation for repeatability across programmes that will help to develop and maximise value.
Improved risk management and confidence
PAS 11000 will help to increase stakeholder confidence by facilitating joint risk management strategies and other programmes between partners.
Enhanced focus
By focusing on the integration of operational procedures, processes and systems you can improve performance and gain more value from your partnerships.
Baseline for improvement
Implementing PAS 11000 will help you get the most from your team. It provides a baseline to support resource development and training competence.

1. Choose the standard
Before you can begin preparing for your application, you’ll require a copy of the standard. You should read this and make yourself familiar with it.
2. Make contact
Get in touch and tell us what you need, so we can sort out the best services for you. We’ll then give you a proposal detailing the cost and time involved in a formal assessment.
3. Meet your assessment team
We’ll assign you a Client Manager, who will be your main point of contact through the process – and beyond. They’ll have an excellent understanding of your business area and will support you as you move forward to the assessment and registration of your information security management system.
4. Consider training
Whether you’re seeking to implement a management system or would like to increase your general awareness of the standard, there are a range of workshops, seminars and training courses available. Read more about training.
5. Review and assessment
We can do a desktop review of your existing information security management system against the standard, and identify any omissions or weaknesses that need resolving before formal assessment. Once these have been addressed, we’ll conduct a full on-site assessment.
6. Certification and beyond
Once the assessment has been successfully completed, we’ll issue a certificate of registration, clearly explaining the scope of your certification. The certificate is valid for three years, and your assessor will visit you regularly to help you make sure you remain compliant, and support you in the continual improvement of your systems.
