The process of becoming ISO Standard certified can be complicated, particularly if you have never gone through it before. It can take up a lot of internal resources that you may not be able to spare. Pentagon Assurance work in partnership to support the development of effective management systems, addressing those key questions and providing a supportive and structured framework which frees up the time for you to do more of what you do best. At times, expertise in different standards and their processes is necessary. That is why many companies outsource ISO implementation to an independent consultant or company. This is often more effective and means that you get a consultant who has experience and expertise in the area and can handle the certification process quickly and easily.
We work with organisations to build new or evolve existing systems to ensure successful accreditation. As a mark of quality, we only work with UKAS accredited certification centres. Our focus throughout the process is to carry the administrative burden of development, allowing your teams to remain focussed on core business activities whilst embedding effective change.
We work across all core management systems for quality, environment, business continuity, information security, Health & Safety and energy management. We work with you to identify what the precise needs of the business are. We then create a bespoke management system service to meet your requirements, in line with the requirements of UKAS for a 3-year certification cycle. This cost-effective approach allows your human resources to concentrate on their primary functions.
All of our consultants have extensive experience of implementing ISO compliant management systems as well as broader business experience which they will use to help your organisation improve and adopt best practice. Beyond accreditation we work on a retained basis to support all aspects of quality management including management reviews and system audits to ensure the systems evolve to support the continued growth of your organisation.
ISO-certified companies often use certification as a consideration for supplier approval, if not as an outright prerequisite. We can help achieve compliance to various ISO standards as well as other pre-qualification schemes including the following systems;
