Supplier Audits
Second-party audits of your suppliers, subcontractors and outsourced providers — against your contractual, quality and information security requirements.
Who this is for
- Businesses with critical suppliers in their certification scope
- Organisations whose customers require demonstrable supplier oversight
- Quality and procurement teams managing risk across an outsourced supply chain
- Information security teams assessing third-party processors under ISO 27001
The problem we solve
Outsourced processes still sit inside your certification scope and your customer's risk picture — but most SMEs don't have the time, independence or audit expertise to evaluate suppliers properly.
How ParagonQMS supports you
A clear, proportionate path — start to finish.
- Step 01
Scope
We agree which suppliers warrant audit, against which requirements, and at what depth.
- Step 02
Prepare
We build the audit checklist around your contract, the relevant ISO clauses and the specific risks the supplier introduces.
- Step 03
Audit
We conduct the audit on your behalf, remotely or on site, with formal evidence-gathering and interview.
- Step 04
Report
You receive a clear report, classified findings and recommended actions you can take back to the supplier.
