STEP 01
Two minutes to configure.
Weeks saved on prep.
Select your facility, choose a certification type: SQF, HACCP, or a custom requirements document, and answer a handful of scoping questions. Protocol Foods pre-fills what it already knows.
STEP 02
One view for every facility.
Nothing falls through the cracks.
Every analysis your team has run, across all facilities and certification types, is organized in a single view. See readiness scores, gap counts, and status at a glance.
STEP 03
From data to verdict.
See every requirement, instantly ranked.
Your readiness score, gap breakdown by severity, and a full table of every requirement (met, partial, or missing) sorted so the most urgent findings are always at the top.
STEP 4
The finding and the fix.
All in one place.
Click any gap to see the source citation, the reason it's a finding, and a specific recommendation. Mark it resolved when the evidence is in and your score updates immediately.
Exactly what a consultant
would tell you. Instantly.
Citations from the source
Every gap links back to the exact clause it violates, including the clause number, section title, and the relevant requirement text from the source document.
Why it's a gap, not just that it is
The analysis explains what was checked, what was found, and why the current evidence doesn't satisfy the requirement. Your team understands the fix, not just the finding.
Severity-ranked findings
Critical, major, and minor gaps surface in priority order. Mandatory clause violations (the ones that fail a real SQF audit) are flagged immediately at the top of the report.
Specific, actionable recommendations
Every finding comes with a concrete next step: what to upload, what to update, and where in Protocol Foods to do it. No vague directives, no consultant follow-up required.
Mark gaps resolved as you go
As your team closes findings, mark them resolved in the report. The readiness score updates in real time so you can track progress toward audit-ready status.
