FSC · Chain of custody

Reach the audit with your chain of custody and evidence in order.

We review your FSC system, close the gaps and prepare a case file that can stand up to the auditor.

We can also build the system from scratch or help you close non-conformities.

FSC-STD-40-004 · Chain of custody, evidence and audit.

Why it matters

Problems appear when the system depends on memory

An audit rarely fails because of one decision. It fails when records, procedures and evidence are no longer maintained together.

  • 01

    Scattered documents

    Emails, folders and records that nobody can gather quickly.

  • 02

    Concentrated knowledge

    One person knows how the chain of custody actually works.

  • 03

    Open non-conformities

    Emergency corrections arrive when the audit is already close.

  • 04

    Outdated system

    The company grows, but its procedures still describe a different reality.

How it works

From system review to audit

Four moments. Each leaves one part of the system ready.

01 · Review

We establish what your certificate requires

We start with the scope, procedures and latest audit report to understand the actual state of the system.

We do not accept a procedure simply because it exists.

02 · Traceability

We rebuild the chain of custody

We connect purchases, sales, product groups and claims from supplier to customer.

The evidence has to support the material journey.

03 · Evidence

We close gaps and non-conformities

We gather records, document corrections and make clear what remains pending.

The expert decides which evidence will actually hold up with the auditor.

04 · Audit

You arrive with the answers prepared

The case file brings together the reviewed system, its evidence and the audit plan.

If needed, we can also support you during the audit.

What Deslioo does

The platform orders the system. The expert validates the chain.

Technology keeps requirements and evidence connected; FSC judgement remains human.

Platform

Turns scattered records into a visible case file.

  • Structures requirements, purchases, sales and documents.
  • Flags missing evidence or items awaiting review.
  • Keeps progress accessible through the portal.

Expert judgement

Interprets the standard and decides how compliance is demonstrated.

  • Reviews the scope and actual chain of custody.
  • Validates evidence and corrective measures.
  • Prepares audit answers and closes non-conformities.
What you get

An FSC system that holds up in the audit

Not a filing cabinet: a traced chain of custody and evidence in order, accessible through your portal.

  • Chain of custody traced from supplier to customer.
  • Evidence gathered and ready for the auditor.
  • Non-conformities with a closing plan.
  • Documented procedures and audit preparation.

The exact deliverable depends on the agreed scope and the state of your system.

How we start

We start from the system you already have

We do not replace what works by default. First we see what exists, what is used and which risks remain open.

  1. 01

    Review

    Certificate, scope, previous audit, procedures and available records.

  2. 02

    Prioritise

    Non-conformities, missing evidence and critical chain-of-custody points.

  3. 03

    Prepare

    The case file, corrections and the work the team must maintain.

We define the scope before starting. The platform and portal are part of the contracted case file.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know before reviewing your FSC

Related scenario The audit is close and a non-conformity is still open See the FSC scenario
Can you help us if we already have FSC certification?

Yes. We work with certified companies that need to maintain the system, prepare an audit or close non-conformities.

Do you also work with companies that are not certified yet?

Yes. We can build the system from scratch to prepare for certification.

Will you support us during the audit?

If the scope requires it, we can be present to support you during the audit.

What happens if we have non-conformities?

We analyse their cause, order the evidence and help implement the measures needed to close them.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. The scope can include follow-up and maintenance so the system does not return to emergency review.
