Capability Assessments
A capability assessment compares the performance of a process
against a performance standard. This can be an agreement in a SLA,
maturity standard, or an average compared to companies in the same
industry (known as a benchmark).
An assessment for ISO/IEC 20000 is a capability assessment; it shows whether or not the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000 are being met.

Purpose of Internal & External Audits
An independent evaluation is needed to assess the performance,
and is also required by customers and third parties.
The results can be used to update the agreed measures in
consultation with the customers, and also for their implementation.
There are three forms of evaluation:• Self-assessment.• Internal Audit.• External Audit.
