Develop checklists based on standards for SMEs

Standards can be difficult to read. SMEs (and other organizations as well) do not always have the capacity to fully understand the content of the standard and the requirements they need to comply with. A checklist can be of use.

A checklist is a list of actions to be done. Such a list, based on a standard, can be a very practical tool for SMEs to check whether its system, product, or service complies with the standard. Or, based on the type of standard, the checklist can act as a prioritization list of actions to be taken to increase the level of implementation of the standard.
