Aivantis
Multi-standard ISO consultancy

Your first certificate, without the guesswork.

We build the management system your auditor expects and your team can actually use — for various ISO standards, such as ISO 9001, 27001, and 42001. Delivered standalone or as one integrated system, depending on what your business needs.

What makes a first ISO certificate hard.

It's hard to know where to start.

A customer contract or funding round suddenly requires a certificate, and it's not obvious how much of your current practice already meets the standard — or how much is left to build.

More than one standard can be in play.

Quality, security, AI governance — the requirements can overlap or diverge depending on your business, and it's not always clear how much can be shared and how much needs its own treatment.

The system has to survive after certification.

Certifying bodies run surveillance audits. If the system isn't embedded in how your team actually works, the first re-audit will expose the gaps — and that's expensive to fix under pressure.

The process

Four steps to your certificate.

Gap analysis

We map your current practices against the requirements of the standards in scope and produce a prioritised gap register. You get a clear picture of where you are and what the system build will involve.

System build

We draft and co-develop the policies, procedures, risk register, and control framework for your chosen standards — as one integrated system if you're pursuing more than one, standalone if you're not. A consultant reviews and signs every document before it goes live.

Internal audit

We run the internal audit against the completed system, identify nonconformities, and work with your team to close them before the certification body sees anything.

Certified

Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits with your chosen certification body. We attend, advise, and manage the corrective action log until the certificate is issued.
