The check phase in the PDCA cycle is the phase where the organization monitors, measures, analyzes, and evaluates the performance and effectiveness of the BCMS against the business continuity policy, objectives, and requirements. The check phase involves conducting internal audits, management reviews, and performance evaluations to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the BCMS, as well as the opportunities for improvement. The check phase also involves collecting and analyzing feedback from interested parties, such as customers, suppliers, regulators, and employees, to ensure that the BCMS meets their needs and expectations. The check phase provides the basis for the act phase, where the organization takescorrective actions and preventive actions to address the nonconformities and risks identified in the check phase. References: ISO 22301:2019, Clause 9; ISO 22301 Auditing eBook, Chapter 5.1.
