About Scopism SIAM Assured, brought to you by Integris Applied
What is Scopism SIAM Assured?
Scopism SIAM Assured (SSA) is an accreditation program which enables SIAM providers to evidence their SIAM expertise to their customers and potential customers.
There are three categories of assessment:
- Consultancy/advisory organizations
- Managed service providers
- Tooling providers
Providers in each category must pass Scopism’s annual organizational-level SIAM review to be awarded the Scopism accreditation. Organizations can choose to extend their scope to cover multiple categories.

What does Scopism SIAM Assured assess?
Scopism is the trusted source of SIAM best practice, and we recognize that there is no single ‘true’ way to adopt SIAM. Embracing this diversity of solutions, we have built an accreditation program that focuses on the outcomes that an organization has delivered for its clients.
Areas assessed vary depending on the category of accreditation but will include:
- A clear definition of SIAM and associated service portfolio
- Maturity of services
- Delivery of outcomes
- People management and development
- Any other accreditations
Who does the Assessment? How does it work?
Within Integris Applied, the Scopism SIAM Assured assessment program is led by certified SIAM Professional Matt Reprogle, supported by a team of specialists.
After establishing a contract with Integris Applied, the team will initiate the assessment by providing an overview of the process, clarifying expectations such as data gathering and meetings, and then conducting a 4-6 week assessment – ultimately producing a final report. If the initial assessment finds points of deficiency even after clarification, the assessors will offer constructive feedback then grant an additional opportunity for evaluation. Once the provider passes the assessment, the organization will be certified and thereby authorized to publicize and enjoy the other benefits of the Scopism SIAM Assured accreditation.
Scopism SIAM Assured can be combined with other products and services such as co-created whitepapers and case studies. To learn more about Scopism SIAM Assured please get in touch.
