How long will it take for current Service Providers to obtain Gatekeeper Accreditation under the Framework?
It is expected that all currently Accredited Service Providers will complete their Accreditation under the Framework by the end of June 2008. The duration of each individual Accreditation will be determined by the Service Provider’s capacity to revise their existing documentation and the capacity of Authorised Evaluators to review relevant documentation. The accreditation process will be straightforward as documentation has been reduced and will mainly be derived from existing Approved Documents. There are no changes to the security standards under which Service Providers are currently accredited (although there are likely to have been updates to ACSI33 since some Service Providers were initially accredited that will need to be reflected in new documentation).
