Audit of Management Systems

Initial (gap analysis), internal and pre-certification audits of management systems are performed by our certified experts.

Management systems are organizational frameworks designed to manage specific aspects of an organization's operations, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and effectiveness. Here are some key management systems that exist in various domains:

• Information Security Management System (ISMS): This system, often aligned with standards like ISO/IEC 27001, is designed to manage an organization's information security processes, assets, and risks, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
• Personal Information Management System (PIMS): PIMS focuses on managing personal data in compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. It encompasses processes for collecting, processing, storing, and disposing of personal information.
• Quality Management System (QMS): Often aligned with ISO 9001, a QMS focuses on ensuring products and services meet customer expectations and compliance requirements. It encompasses quality planning, control, assurance, and improvement.
• Environmental Management System (EMS): Typically aligned with ISO 14001, an EMS focuses on managing an organization’s environmental impact, including waste management, resource utilization, and pollution prevention.
• Health and Safety Management System (HSMS): Such systems, like those compliant with ISO 45001, focus on workplace health and safety, aiming to reduce workplace hazards and enhance employee well-being.
• Risk Management System (RMS): RMS involves identifying, assessing, and controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings. These risks can stem from various sources such as financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents, and natural disasters.
• Business Continuity Management System (BCMS): As per ISO 22301, BCMS ensures that an organization can continue operating during and after a critical incident or disaster. It involves planning, response, recovery, and resilience strategies.
• IT Service Management System (ITSMS): ITSMS, often aligned with ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) or ISO/IEC 20000, focuses on managing the delivery of IT services to meet business needs efficiently.
• Compliance Management System (CMS): A CMS helps organizations adhere to legal, regulatory, and policy requirements, particularly in highly regulated industries like finance and healthcare.
• Supply Chain Management System (SCMS): SCMS focuses on the oversight of materials, information, and finances as they move from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer.
• Data Management System (DMS): This system focuses on the efficient management, storage, and retrieval of data in organizations.
• Cyber Security Management System (CSMS): A CSMS is typically aligned with international standards such as ISA/IEC 62443 Series. CSMS is specifically focused on the cybersecurity aspects of industrial and automation environments. This system is crucial for the safety and security of industrial processes, where the integration of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) systems is increasingly prevalent.

Each of these management systems plays a crucial role in specific areas of organizational operation, helping to streamline processes, ensure compliance, manage risks, and improve overall performance and efficiency.
