Better QMS is an ISO Consultancy which provides ISO management consultancy services for the delivery of various management systems, which includes the development of documentation, gap analysis and audit support for a range of standards.  This includes onsite and remote support designed to help you achieve ISO certification, maintain certification or provide support so that you just maximise your certification experience.  This is achieved through tailoring our approach to meet your business requirements.

Our auditors have extensive expertise in developing management systems and in achieving ISO certification, for a variety of industry sectors, including public and private organisations.

We can simplify what can be a complex subject matter, for organisations that wish to demonstrate awareness of relevant industry standards, capture current activities and improve their competitive edge in support of the bottom line.  We also offer training courses to cover the adaptation and implementation of management systems, performance improvement and management development with a practical approach to raising organisation awareness and the internal audit process.

As with the quality standard, ISO 14001:2015 has a greater emphasis on performance and applies the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle at all levels of an organization.  The latest structure of the standard can be integrated into any system with other ISO or industry standards and helps organisations improve environmental performance.  The standard promotes effective environmental management, influences organisation behaviour and provides an iterative process to achieve continual improvement, develop awareness of legal frameworks, governance and environmental culture.

A key requirement of the standard is to identify the lifecycle perspective, especially within manufacturing and service based organizations.  We can help create focused action plans to aid implementation of the lifecycle perspective, aspects and impacts in the workplace.

Climate action considerations should now be implemented to determine whether climate action change is a relevant issue, and this includes review of the requirements for interested parties.

ISO 27001 provides an overview of information security management systems and the controls to monitor, evaluate and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information security safeguards.  The selection and implementation of controls should be documented within a Statement of Applicability (SoA).  The statement assists with defining the protection of all forms of information, from data storage to computer servers, PC’s, company noticeboards, mobile devices and even post-it notes, balancing the investment versus controls against losing sensitive and client related information.

The SoA maintains documented security controls and may also be extended to include controls for ISO 27701 – Privacy information management requirements, ISO 27017 – Code of practice for cloud services, or ISO 27018 – Code of practice for personal identifiable information (PII) in public clouds.
