Certification Maintenance Scheme
A retained, year-round programme that keeps your management system live, current and audit-ready between certification cycles — not a panic exercise the month before a surveillance visit.
Who this is for
- Certified SMEs without an in-house quality, HSE or information security function
- Businesses whose certification has previously slipped between audits
- Leadership teams who want certification handled as a managed service
- Organisations preparing for recertification within the next 18 months
The problem we solve
Many certified SMEs revisit their management system only when an external audit is imminent — leading to last-minute scrambles, weak evidence and avoidable nonconformities. The system stops driving the business and becomes an annual chore.
