Who it is for
Structure the questions before the next decision.
The checklist is designed for leaders, public-sector commercial teams, suppliers, delivery teams and assurance professionals. It helps structure the questions that should be answered before the next decision.
It is not legal advice, certification or a determination that a system is safe or compliant.
