ISO CONSULTING

ISO consulting services, provided by the Georgian Certification Organization (GCO), offer expert guidance and assistance to organizations seeking to implement and maintain ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards. These services, specifically designed by GCO, aim to support businesses in achieving ISO certifications and optimizing their operations according to globally recognized quality management systems.

The ISO consultants at the Georgian Certification Organization possess extensive knowledge and expertise in various ISO standards, including ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 27001 (Information Security Management), and more. Collaborating closely with businesses, GCO’s consultants strive to understand their unique needs and objectives, providing tailored solutions to address process gaps, documentation issues, and compliance challenges.

GCO’s ISO consulting service typically commences with an initial assessment of the organization’s current practices, policies, and systems. This assessment allows the consultants to identify areas for improvement. Based on the findings, the consultants then develop a comprehensive roadmap and implementation plan that align with the specific ISO standard requirements and the strategic goals of the organization.

Throughout the consulting process, the ISO consultants from GCO offer valuable guidance and support. They assist in the development and documentation of robust processes, conduct internal audits, and aid in the preparation for external audits. Furthermore, GCO’s consultants assist in implementing effective quality management systems and provide training programs to educate employees on ISO standards. This ensures a smooth transition and fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the organization.

Engaging GCO’s ISO consulting services brings several benefits to businesses. These include increased efficiency, enhanced customer satisfaction, improved risk management, and better regulatory compliance. Moreover, achieving ISO certification demonstrates the organization’s commitment to quality and excellence. It also opens doors to new business opportunities, partnerships, and global market access, further strengthening the organization’s position in the industry.

To summarize, GCO’s ISO consulting services offer professional assistance and expertise to organizations striving to meet international standards of quality management and operational excellence. Through their guidance and support, businesses can successfully navigate the ISO certification process, elevate their overall performance, and achieve sustainable success.

The certification cost is composed of two main components:

  1. The fee for consulting services associated with the implementation of the international standard.
  2. The external audit fee for evaluating compliance with the international standard.

The precise cost of consulting services and certification can vary based on factors such as the company's industry, size, and specific characteristics. Therefore, it is vital to diligently complete the certification application, ensuring that all details are accurately provided.

The ISO certificate remains valid for a period of three years. During this time, the client is subject to annual audits to ensure continuous compliance with the requirements of the implemented standard.

According to the regulations established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it is not allowed for the consultant and the certifying body to be affiliated or part of the same organization. It is required to maintain independence and impartiality in the certification process. This separation ensures objectivity and prevents any potential conflicts of interest.

It is recommended by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to select certification bodies whose issued certificates can be verified for validity on the official website of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
