Consulting Process
Working with a consultant shouldn’t feel like a black box. Here’s exactly what happens, from the first conversation to the day you’re certified — six stages, one team, no surprises.
Every process is shaped around your business, not the other way around. A bank, a software company, a manufacturer, a food producer, a logistics operator, a medical device maker and a cosmetics brand all go through the same six stages — but what happens inside each one is different. We’re not in the business of writing documentation for a shelf. We’re in the business of building a management system your team actually uses, whatever industry you’re in.
Gap Analysis
We start by looking at where you actually stand — not where you think you stand. A structured review against the standard’s requirements, so every next step is based on facts, not assumptions.
Example — for a bank: benchmarking existing controls against ISO 27001 before a single policy is touched.
Risk Assessment
We identify what could go wrong and how much it matters, so your management system focuses effort where it’s actually needed — not on generic checkboxes.
Example — for a food producer: mapping HACCP hazard points before writing a single procedure.
Policies & Documentation
Every system needs a backbone — but ours is built around how you actually work, not copied from a template. We create what your team will genuinely use, and skip what won’t get read.
Example — for a logistics company: procedures your drivers can actually follow, not a binder no one opens.
Implementation
This is where the system becomes real — controls rolled out, staff trained, processes running the way they’re documented. We stay hands-on through this stage, not just advising from the sidelines.
Example — for a manufacturer: floor supervisors trained on the new checks, not just management.
Internal Audit
Before the real audit, we run our own — testing what works, catching what doesn’t, and fixing it while it’s still just us in the room.
Example — for a medical device maker: catching the one nonconformity that would fail a real audit.
Certification
We stay with you through the certification audit itself, Stage 1 and Stage 2, from the first question to the final decision. This is the finish line, and we don’t leave before you cross it.
Example — for a software company: walking into Stage 2 already knowing what the auditor will ask.
