Certification en compliance voor professional services

For companies operating in the professional services sector, it is essential to continuously strive for a secure, efficient and reliable business operation. As a service provider, you are responsible for critical business processes, customer data and potentially confidential information. Therefore, establishing a robust compliance and certification programme is crucial.

Identifying and managing risks, as well as monitoring the performance of suppliers, is becoming increasingly important.

Compliance supports your challenges

At Protify, we understand the unique challenges faced by professional services providers. You operate in a dynamic environment where swift decision-making and accurate risk management are vital. Our services guide your organisation through the entire certification process – from an in-depth gap analysis and implementation of an integrated management system (IMS) to obtaining certifications such as ISO 27001 (information security), ISO 22301 (business continuity), and ISO 27701 (privacy management). We also support the development and implementation of a controls framework (e.g. ISAE 3402, ISAE 3000, SOC 2, or a custom framework) for assurance reporting purposes.

Examples of standard requirements for organisations

Risk assessment and treatment (ISO 27001)

Organisations are required to conduct a formal risk assessment to identify threats to information security and/or business continuity. This involves systematically identifying and evaluating risks, and defining appropriate controls to minimise their impact.

Customer satisfaction and process monitoring (ISO 9001)

ISO 9001 requires organisations to continuously monitor, analyse and improve their processes to ensure the quality of their services and/or products. This includes establishing measurable performance indicators, process monitoring, and performing internal audits to assess and enhance the effectiveness of the quality management system.

Business continuity and assurance (ISO 22301)

Organisations must define clear objectives and demonstrate how they ensure business continuity. This includes implementing procedures for performance measurement, evaluating outcomes and implementing improvements to meet both internal and external stakeholder expectations.

Implementing a management system

We help standardise and optimise your internal processes so your organisation operates in a consistent and compliant manner. Our experienced consultants work closely with your team to review existing policy documentation and operational processes, and develop a clear action plan. This ensures compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and integrates compliance into your day-to-day operations.

Compliance software

In addition, we offer managed services and the ProActive Compliance Tool, providing you with continuous insight into the status of your management system. These tools and services help you monitor, adjust and improve your management system. The result is a culture of continuous improvement that strengthens the trust of clients and partners, and enhances your competitive position in the market.
