Management Systems
SecurityAttest® certified experts perform initial gap assessments, internal audits and pre-certification audits across a broad range of management systems.
A management system provides the governance, processes, responsibilities and evidence needed to control a defined area of an organization. Depending on the business objective, the audit can address one system or an integrated set of systems. The principal areas we assess include:
Typically aligned with ISO/IEC 27001, an ISMS establishes a risk-based framework for protecting information, systems and supporting assets. The audit considers how the organization manages security risks and preserves confidentiality, integrity and availability.
A PIMS extends governance to personal information and privacy. Reviews can cover how personal data is collected, used, shared, retained and disposed of, together with controls supporting obligations such as GDPR.
Commonly based on ISO 9001, a QMS structures quality planning, operational control, assurance and continual improvement so that products and services consistently meet customer and applicable requirements.
Usually aligned with ISO 14001, an EMS provides a structured way to identify and manage environmental impacts, including resource use, waste, emissions and pollution-prevention measures.
Often implemented against ISO 45001, an occupational health and safety system is intended to identify workplace hazards, reduce safety risks and support safer working conditions and employee well-being.
A risk management system provides a repeatable method for identifying, analyzing, evaluating, treating and monitoring uncertainty that can affect objectives, capital or earnings. Relevant sources can include financial volatility, legal exposure, strategic decisions, accidents and natural events.
A BCMS, commonly based on ISO 22301, prepares the organization to maintain priority activities through disruption and recover within defined objectives. Audits examine continuity planning, response arrangements, recovery capabilities, exercises and resilience governance.
An ITSMS organizes the delivery, support and continual improvement of IT services. It may be aligned with ISO/IEC 20000 and supported by ITIL practices to connect service management with business needs.
A compliance management system brings legal, regulatory, contractual and internal-policy obligations into a controlled lifecycle. It is particularly relevant where evidence of compliance must be maintained across highly regulated operations such as finance or healthcare.
A supply-chain management system governs the flow of materials, information and financial dependencies across suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and customers, including the controls needed to manage supply-chain risk.
A data management system governs how organizational data is classified, stored, maintained, protected, made available and retrieved throughout its lifecycle.
A CSMS focuses on cybersecurity for industrial automation and control environments and is commonly aligned with the ISA/IEC 62443 series. It is especially important where IT and operational technology (OT) are interconnected and cyber risk can affect the safety, availability or integrity of industrial processes.
Although each system addresses a different business objective, they share a common purpose: establish repeatable governance, demonstrate conformity, control risk and provide evidence that the relevant processes operate effectively. Where systems overlap, SecurityAttest® can audit them as an integrated management environment to reduce duplication.
