If you want to complete the Higg FSLM self-assessment (self/joint assessment only), there is no need to create a Gateway account. However, if you want your Higg FSLM self-assessment to be verified and obtain a verified assessment report (vFSLM), you must create a facility profile on the Gateway.
Verification takes place on the Accredited Host platform, which is Worldly. Once verified, the vFSLM assessment data can be shared from Worldly to the Gateway. However, self/joint-assessment data cannot be transferred to the Gateway.
Note 1: Only verified Higg FSLM assessment data (vFSLM) can be shared from Worldly (Higg FSLM) to the Gateway. Self/joint-assessment data remains on Worldly (Higg FSLM) and cannot be transferred.
Note 2: You can only create a facility profile on the Gateway after SLCP has launched in your country/region. You can find an overview of rollouts on the Gateway.
