ISO 22000 readiness means a HACCP plan that works on the floor, not just on paper.
XGRC® MSX® gives food businesses a structured way to assess ISO 22000 readiness, close food safety management gaps, and keep prerequisite programmes, HACCP plans and traceability audit-ready every day.
A HACCP plan that is not maintained is a certification gap waiting to be found.
When prerequisite programmes, HACCP monitoring, and traceability records are managed on paper, food safety teams cannot demonstrate the level of control ISO 22000 certification requires.
Prerequisite programme records scattered across paper logs
HACCP plans not updated after process or supplier changes
Traceability tested rarely, with no confidence in mock recall speed
Nonconforming product incidents logged inconsistently across shifts
The ISO 22000 implementation lifecycle, in one system.
Define FSMS scope and food safety policy
Run a structured gap assessment against ISO 22000 clauses
Maintain prerequisite programmes and supplier controls
Complete hazard analysis and build the HACCP plan
Conduct internal audit across PRPs, HACCP and FSMS clauses
Hold management review and track continual improvement
Built for food safety teams, visible to management.
- Central prerequisite programme and supplier records
- HACCP plan management with CCP monitoring
- Batch and traceability records with mock recall testing
- Nonconformance and corrective action tracking
- Real-time dashboards for audit and management review
One connected view of food safety
MSX® links prerequisite programmes, HACCP monitoring, and traceability records into a single food safety management system, so every CCP deviation and every corrective action is captured and closed out. Management gets a live view of FSMS status without waiting for the next audit.
The same FSMS, without the paper trail.

Integrated Management System
Explore MSX® → Use CaseInternal Audit
XGRC® is internal audit software that lets organisations plan, execute and manage audits in a structured, consistent way. It connects audits to risks, controls and actions on a single platform, giving full visibility across the audit lifecycle.
View use case → Use CaseCompliance Management
XGRC Compliance Hub enables organisations to manage supplier, contractor, and customer compliance through a structured portal. External parties upload and maintain their own documentation while internal teams validate, approve, and monitor compliance status in real time.
View use case → Use CaseAction Management
XGRC® action management exists for one reason: to make sure that every finding, incident, inspection result, risk treatment, and nonconformity raised across the platform is actually resolved — not just assigned. Every action traces back to where it came from and forward to verified closure.

What is ISO 22000 compliance software?
ISO 22000 compliance software assesses food safety management system readiness, keeping prerequisite programmes, HACCP plans and traceability audit-ready every day rather than only in the run-up to a certification audit.
Does MSX® support mock recall testing for traceability?
Yes. Batch and traceability records support mock recall testing, so traceability speed and accuracy are verified regularly rather than assumed until a real recall is needed.
How is the HACCP plan kept current after a process change?
The HACCP plan is managed with change tracking, so a process or supplier change prompts a review rather than leaving the plan reflecting an outdated process.
Which standard does ISO 22000 readiness align to?
ISO 22000 readiness aligns to ISO 22000:2018, covering prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, HACCP and traceability.
See ISO 22000 readiness as a structured, measurable process.
