See which incident actions are overdue
Certant reads your incident exports alongside your follow-up policy and lists actions past their due date, and records with no owner or date.
Due 20 Oct 2026. Still recorded as open.
Follow-ups slip after the report
The incident gets reported and investigated. The corrective action is assigned in a meeting and typed into a register, and nobody opens the register again until the next audit.
Some actions have no owner, and others have no due date, so there is nothing to be late against.
What Certant reads
The export can come from your incident system or from a spreadsheet register.
| Document | What it supplies |

| Follow-up policy | The timeframes and requirements your organisation has set, such as when a due date must be assigned. |

A person reviews each reminder
Certant drafts a reminder to the action's owner, or an escalation to their manager, with the record and the rule attached. The incident coordinator approves it before it's sent.

- J. Okafor
- Draft

What setup involves
We map the columns in your incident export and pick the rules from your follow-up policy that you want checked. Then we run it on a current export and you compare the list with your own.
| Area | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Checks | Certant checks the records you export against the rules you configure. |
| Response | It isn't an emergency response tool. It doesn't decide whether an incident must be notified to a regulator, and it submits nothing to one. |
| Your system | It works beside your incident-management system and doesn't replace it. |
