The ISO 9001 Internal Audit Service allows you to outsource your audit program and drive improvement. Our experienced lead auditors will identify any and all substantive issues in your quality management system and provide recommendations, share their experience, and offer best practices.

moreI see that you offer on-site and remote auditing. How does remote auditing work?
Our remote audits are generally as effective as traditional on-site audits. To achieve this, our auditor requires a company employee (usually the person responsible for ISO 9001) with a smartphone to serve as the auditor's virtual eyes, ears and mouth. We also leverage Microsoft Teams (or similar) with screen and file sharing features. If you want to find out in detail how we do it and how we ensure confidentiality and data security, read our short article on successful remote auditing.
Our lead auditors have several years experience in successfully conducting remote audits. If you are concerned about certain aspects, feel free to contact us.
What hours will the auditor be auditing?
We will make ourselves available during your business hours and for the duration of a normal workday (approximately 8-9 hours).
Is it better to use this service or to have company staff conduct the audits internally?
Each approach has its own benefits.
Some companies set up a cross-functional audit team to encourage identification and adoption of best practices. Others find it beneficial to spread internal knowledge through internal audits. There are also companies that gain efficiencies by combining different audits, for example ISO 9001 and safety.
Outsourcing internal audits to our experienced, certified auditors brings other benefits. We guarantee to find all substantive issues – which is particularly important prior to the certification audit. Sharing our vast experience and providing improvement suggestions is another good reason to use our service. And then there are some companies that are simply too small or whose personnel is stretched too thin to train auditors and perform audits in-house.
These are just a few of the benefits of each approach but they may give you an idea on how to decide what's best in your particular situation.
Can I buy the audit service even if our QMS isn't based on the 9001Simplified system?
Yes, absolutely. We will audit any quality management system, no matter which tools or services you used to implement it. Also, our Certification Guarantee applies to all ISO 9001 systems.
