Achieving ISO certification or pre-certification readiness involves several steps. We can work with you in specific areas where you want help:

Understanding ISO Standards

ISO has developed standards for various aspects of business, including quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), information security management (ISO 27001) and so on. The first step is to determine which standards you want to implement.

Gap Analysis

The next step is to conduct a thorough gap analysis to assess your current management system, processes, procedures, and technology systems against the requirements outlined in the chosen ISO standard. This will help identify areas that need improvement or modification to meet the standard's criteria.

Develop Documentation

Now documentation needs to be developed or updated. This includes policies, procedures, work instructions, and forms to align with the requirements of the ISO standard.

Implementation

This involves implementing the necessary changes to your processes and systems based on the findings of the gap analysis and the requirements of the ISO standard. This may involve training employees, updating infrastructure, and establishing new protocols.

Internal Audit

Once new policies and procedures are in place, organizations conduct an annual internal audit (or hire second-party auditors such as us) to evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented changes and ensure compliance with the ISO standard. The internal audit helps identify any non-conformities or areas needing improvement.

Corrective Actions

These are actions that address any non-conformities identified during the internal audit by implementing corrective actions to resolve issues and improve processes.

Management Review

Next, organizations hold a management review meeting to assess the effectiveness of the implemented changes, review audit findings and make any necessary adjustments to the management system.

Certification Audit

This is optional. Some organizations seek to be certification-ready, but do not seek a formal certification. The certification audit involves an assessment of your management system's conformity to the ISO standard's requirements by a certified registrar.

Continuous Improvement

ISO certification is not a one-time achievement. It requires ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving your management system. JBW Group can help you continuously monitor and review your processes, address any non-conformities and manage your continual improvement.

The goal is to create a security culture that is aligned with organizational objectives. The deliverables for all offerings are documents that your organization can use to meet regulatory requirements, reduce risks, cut costs and compete more effectively in the marketplace.
