Once you complete your Assessment Workbook, you firstly need to make any improvements required to bring your ICT systems up to the ICTAA™ standard. This may require some simple and straight forward additions to your ICT systems. Our Potential Purchases section contains a list of the items that you may need to purchase.
Once you’ve made the improvements highlighted in your Assessment Workbook, it’s time to submit your completed booklet to ICTAA for review. ICTAA will then review and issue the appropriate ICTAA™ Accreditation.
Yes.
Once you have purchased the Assessment Kit you have 12 weeks to complete the workbook and send it back for review. After 12 weeks there is a small administration charge that is payable for your assessment to be processed.
Your accreditation is then valid for 12 months.
If you wish to be accredited at a higher level than your original assessment, there is a Level Upgrade pack that can be completed.
For example, if you are accredited for Level 1 Business Awareness in your category and wish to re-accredit for Level 3 Business Continuity before your annual renewal, then the Level Upgrade pack is what you need.
There are 3 types of Assessment Programs.
Self Assessment: This is where you work through your Assessment Kit on your own. You will most likely need assistance from several of your current ICT providers to collate the necessary information for accreditation.
Provider Assessment: This is where an accredited ICTAA™ Service Provider works through your Assessment Kit with you. They help you collate information and implement solutions that are not yet in place for accreditation.
Auditor Assessment: The most regarded accreditation is one that has been assessed by an accredited ICTAA™ Auditor. Once you (or perhaps your service provider) have implemented the items in your Assessment Kit, an ICTAA™ Auditor will then come out to your premises and confirm your Self or Provider Assessment.
