Standards Advisory is a cohort of real senior executives with extensive governance experience and expertise turned credentialled ISO lead auditors. We integrate ISO standards into your existing business processes — we don't force-fit your business into generic ISO templates. The result is a simple, ISO-compliant business system built around how you actually work. Every engagement is fixed-fee, scoped before we start, and mapped from day one, so you always know exactly what happens next.
The approach
§1
Your gap assessment is done by someone who runs live ISO audits for a living — so you're prepared for what actually gets flagged, not what a template assumes might.
§2
You get the full schedule on day one — what's due, when, and from whom. No vanishing consultant between calls, no scramble the week before Stage 1.
§3
If we scoped it wrong, that's ours to fix — not an invoice we send you later. You'll never be billed by the hour for a call running long.
How an engagement runs
Indicative schedule for a single-site management system — confirmed precisely, in writing, on your discovery call.
01
Day 0
Scope, standard and deadline confirmed. Fixed fee quoted on the call, not after it.
02
Week 1–2
Your current state mapped against every clause that actually applies to your operation.
03
Week 3–8
Policies, controls and records built for how you actually work — not copied from a folder.
04
Week 9
A proper dry run. Findings raised and closed before a certification body ever sees the file.
05
Week 10–12
We sit in the room. Every finding gets a response the same day, not the same month.
06
Week 13
Certificate issued by your accredited CB. Engagement closed with a handover you can show your board.
Who you're working with
Our experienced auditors run live third-party ISO certification audits for other organisations, and separately consult on the same standards for clients such as you. To maintain audit independence, an auditor who consults for an organisation never also serves as that organisation's certification auditor — the two roles are always kept separate. Most businesses preparing for certification have never spoken to anyone who's actually held the clipboard on the audit side of the table. Standards Advisory exists to close that gap.
Built for
Deadline-driven
An enterprise deal, a tender or a board is waiting on your certificate. We work backwards from your date, not forwards from our availability.
First certification
No ISMS or QMS in place yet. We build what the standard requires, and nothing you'll never look at again.
Recovery
Already mid-process with another consultant, or stalled internally. We take over the file, tell you honestly what's salvageable, and reset the timeline.
01
Agreed before day one and scoped to your actual system — never billed by the hour.
02
The same team that scopes your engagement runs it, start to finish.
Get started
Twenty minutes. Bring your deadline, not a document pack — there's no forty-question intake form before we've even spoken.
