What to prepare before your assessor visit

Assessors may visit your website as a quick sanity check on your scope claims and organisational identity. An incorrect URL or a website that doesn't clearly match the described business isn't automatically a problem, but it can prompt questions. If your organisation doesn't have a public website, say so clearly — it is not a certification requirement.
