ACS Audit

Cardinal Security attained a score of 113 in our most recent audit. This is one of the highest audit scores ever awarded in March 2009 and we are now in the top 10 providers in the UK as detailed on Infologue.com.

It is widely recognised that many existing competitors will fail to meet the rigorous standards of the Approved Contractor Scheme and will struggle to license their workforce. Cardinal’s commitment to quality is therefore an essential ingredient to our long term success. We would like to thank everyone for all their hard work over the past year that has enabled us to increase our score to 113 from 85 the previous year.

The ACS scoring system is a guide to a company’s general professionalism and to the robustness of its processes. What is very interesting is how many companies are complying by a very low margin, doing enough to pass but not a great deal more. By contrast, there are at least 60 companies operating well above basic requirements, exceeding the target by over 71 marks, and of these there is a sizeable minority with scores exceeding 100 marks.
