# CanonAssure > CanonAssure is a governed benchmarking and assurance platform for organisations that need dependable comparison across sites, suppliers, business units or programmes. CanonAssure creates one governed benchmark record connecting agreed criteria, weighting and evidence requirements with controlled submissions, mapped evidence, independent expert judgement, Head Expert interpretation, Programme Owner issuance and issued reporting. The platform is designed to make comparable strengths, recurring weaknesses and movement over repeated benchmark cycles visible while preserving the authority of the original issued record. CanonAssure does not replace operational dashboards, ERP systems, evidence repositories, consultants or auditors. It provides a governed assurance layer connecting requirements, evidence, expert judgement and accountable issuance. Key concepts include: - Governed benchmarking - Evidence-based assessment - Comparable sites, suppliers, business units and programmes - Independent expert review - Programme Owner issuance - Issued benchmark record - Board and management reporting - Repeat-cycle trajectory - Human governance of AI-assisted processes CanonAssure is currently engaging with selected organisations and experienced practitioners around controlled benchmark assessments and reference deployments. ## Website - [CanonAssure](https://canonassure.com/): Official CanonAssure website describing the governed benchmarking model, assurance chain, report family, applications and engagement process. ## Company - [CanonAssure on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/canonassure/): Official CanonAssure company page.
