Certification Independence

Readiness support without compromising certification independence.

ISOReadyHub is an advisory, implementation and readiness partner.

We do not issue ISO certificates.

Who does what

ISOReadyHub

Our role

We may support:

  • Scope definition
  • Gap assessment
  • Risk and control design
  • Management-system implementation
  • Evidence closure
  • Certification readiness
  • Certification-body coordination
Certification body

The certification body’s role

The certification body independently determines whether the organization meets the certification requirements.

Where certification is pursued, it should be performed by an appropriately accredited certification body.

Internal audit and technical assurance

Independence matters in other parts of the programme too

Depending on scope, we may separate:

  • Implementation
  • Penetration testing
  • Internal audit
  • Certification

Where specialist or independent resources are needed, responsibilities are defined before work begins.

Commercial transparency

Costs kept separate

These are kept separate unless the signed proposal states otherwise:

  • ISOReadyHub fees
  • Specialist technical costs
  • Certification-body fees
  • Software and tool costs

Why this matters

The objective is credible assurance, not simply getting through an audit.

A clear separation of responsibilities protects both the client and the integrity of the certification process.

Start with a focused discovery conversation

Tell us what you are trying to achieve, what is driving the requirement and where you are today. We use the first discussion to clarify scope and next steps, not to force a predefined package.
