Here you will find information on all you need to know regarding Prewave's automated Maturity Assessments
What is a Maturity Assessment?
A Maturity Assessment is Prewave's way of representing how mature a Site is in our system. Maturity is considered to be what a Site is certified for, what they report or declare, what policies they have in place and whether they have a standard or rating. We collect the following datapoints in a Maturity Assessment:
- Certifications (ISOs for example)
- Policies
- Reports
- Declarations
- Statements
- Standards
- Ratings
A full list of data we collect can be found here
How is this information found?
Prewave run a semi-automated process to firstly discover information and then verify it. We only publish information in our dashboard that has been verified by us. We check against relevant accreditor databases as well as the websites of the companies we are searching on.
How to request a Maturity Assessment?
A Maturity Assessment can be requested by creating an Action at a Site, and selecting the Maturity Assessment option. This will then be stored in your Action Planner.
How long does it take to complete?
A request will usually be completed in a few hours, depending on how many are sent
Where are the results stored?
A list of the information found is stored under the Certificates tab on a Site profile. Depending whether the information found is Site Group-wide, we sometimes allow it to propagate onto the Site Group profile also.
How does it affect the score?
(this will be released in Q4 2024)
A single Maturity Assessment request produces six entries under the Assessment Score tab on a Site profile. The different entries relate to groups, namely:
- Cyber Risk
- Energy
- Environment
- Governance
- Health and Safety
- Human Rights
Each entry will have a score attached based on what was found, or the absence of anything found. For example if a Site has no certificates, reports, policies or has not made any attempt to communicate the resilience and sustainability of their operations, they will be penalised.
As a general rule, if a Site has a "pass" certificate (a certification for one of the groups above for example) they will receive top marks in that category - meaning a score of 100 for that category.
Setting up notifications
We have introduced a way that users can setup notifications when certain certificates are going to expire. This is shown only for certificates that have a validation range. You can see this option under the Certificates tab of a target profile.
Next to the ISO 9001:2015 above you can see that there is an option to turn on a notification. When you select this:
- You will be notified 1 month before this specific certificate expires, at this specific Site
- The notification will appear in the "Notifications" section in the top bar menu
- Only you will receive these notifications, not other users in the same company
Reporting wrong information
We also added a way in which you can report wrong information if you see it. To do this, click the flag icon next to an entry under the Certificates tab.
A form will open where you can let us know the irregular information you see. We will then take steps to proof and correct this.
