An ISO consultant helps your organisation prepare for certification by designing, implementing and improving the management system required by the relevant ISO standard. This can include a gap analysis, developing policies and procedures, staff training, internal audits and helping you address non-conformities. They’ll guide you through the process, reduce the time involved, and improve your chances of achieving certification on your first attempt.
At Evalian, our consultants work alongside your team to build a management system that meets ISO requirements while supporting your business objectives. We provide practical advice, implementation support and audit preparation, but we do not issue ISO certificates ourselves. Our focus is on ensuring your organisation is ready for independent assessment and long-term compliance.
A certification body is an independent organisation that assesses your management system and decides whether certification should be awarded. To provide additional confidence, many organisations choose a certification body accredited by UKAS, the UK’s national accreditation body. UKAS assesses certification bodies to ensure they are competent, impartial and operating to recognised international standards.
The certification body conducts the formal certification audit and, if the requirements of the standard are met, issues the ISO certificate. This separation between consultancy and certification is important because it maintains independence in the assessment process. While a consultant helps you prepare for success, the certification decision always rests with the independent certification body.
ISO standards can be interpreted in many ways. What matters is applying them proportionately, in line with your organisation’s size, risk profile and operating environment. In this video, we explain how Evalian approaches ISO consultancy, focusing on practical implementation, not theoretical compliance.
With experience delivering ISO standards and compliance across hundreds of organisations, our consultants know how to translate requirements into controls that work in the real world. Watch the video to understand how our risk-based approach helps organisations achieve certification efficiently, avoid unnecessary complexity, and embed security that stands up to audit.

Achieving certification is an important milestone, but it is only the beginning. To maintain certification, organisations must demonstrate that their management system remains effective through regular surveillance audits and periodic recertification audits. This requires more than simply creating and retaining documentation. Processes, controls and responsibilities must continue to reflect the needs of the whole organisation, changing risks and evolving regulatory requirements.
Continual improvement sits at the heart of every ISO management system. This means reviewing performance, identifying opportunities for improvement, addressing non-conformities, and monitoring risks. Through internal audits, management reviews and ongoing support, we help organisations maintain compliance, prepare for future audits and ensure their systems continue to deliver measurable value long after successful certification.
Tell us what you are looking to achieve and one of our consultants will review your enquiry. We will come back to you to understand your current position, the ISO standard you are working with, your timescales and the level of support you need.
From there, we can recommend the most appropriate next step, whether that is a gap analysis, implementation support, internal audit preparation or ongoing ISO compliance support. You will get clear advice before committing to a project.

CadDo, a SaaS provider based in London, recently successfully certified to ISO 27001.
Here, Dan Levy, CadDo COO, discusses the reasons they started their ISO journey, the importance of choosing a UKAS certification body, why they chose Evalian to support them with their internal audits, and the impact it has had on the organisation.
The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), is an independent, non-government organisation. It brings together experts in order to develop standards that support innovation and provide solutions on an international scale.
Headquartered in Geneva, it is the world’s largest developer of voluntary organisational standards worldwide. It has produced nearly 24,000 International Standards for organisations since 1947.
ISO comprises a network of national standards bodies in 165 countries. Providing specifications and requirements for products and services, ISO aims to ensure good practice. It also aims to increase efficiency and effectiveness across businesses and industries globally.
Gaining ISO certification is effectively getting a stamp of approval from a third-party certification body. It shows your key internal and external stakeholders that your organisation has a structured, proactive and efficient approach to the management of information security aligned with internationally recognised best practice.
Maintaining certification proves your ongoing commitment to continually improving your internal processes. It gives your stakeholders confidence and reassurance that you appropriately protect the information entrusted to you.
ISO 9001: This is the most globally recognised Quality Management System (QMS) Standard. It provides a framework that helps organisations ensure that they consistently provide products and services that meet the requirements and needs of their customers. Ultimately, it aims to facilitate opportunities to improve customer satisfaction. The standard was first published in 1987 by ISO and, like most ISO standards, including ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, is applicable to any organisation regardless of size, geographical location and spread, or industry. It aims to promote consistency, efficiency and effectiveness.
ISO 27001: This is the international standard for information security. It sets out the specifications for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) through a number of clauses and controls. It is recognised internationally and certifies that your organisation follows information security best practices in its widest application.
ISO 22301: This is the international standard for Business Continuity Management (BCM). The standard is designed to help organisations identify, formalise and agree with their business recovery requirements and understand the impact of not meeting these requirements over time. Furthermore, it assists organisations in identifying recovery solutions designed to help meet the agreed recovery requirements and document these in business continuity plans.
These plans are then challenged through testing to validate that they would be fit for purpose in the event of a business disruption. The effective management of a Business Continuity Management System will help businesses protect their income stream post-incident. It will also minimise the risk of financial, operational and reputational impact to an acceptable level, and potentially avoid financial and regulatory penalties.
It depends on your business goals. ISO 9001 supports quality management, ISO 27001 supports information security, ISO 22301 supports business continuity, ISO 14001 supports environmental management, and ISO 45001 supports health and safety.
No. Evalian provides consultancy, implementation and audit preparation. Certification is issued by an independent certification body. If you need UKAS-accredited certification, we can help you prepare for the audit and choose an appropriate certification body.
Typically, ISO certificates from UKAS accredited certification bodies are valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits to ensure you continue to be compliant. After three years, a recertification assessment is required in order to maintain the certification.
Certification normally requires ongoing maintenance, including internal audits, management reviews, corrective actions and surveillance audits. Evalian can support this so the system stays useful and audit-ready.
How much does ISO 27001 consultancy cost?
Cost depends on the ISO standard, organisation size, number of sites, current maturity, audit deadline and level of support needed. A scoping call should confirm the right level of support and a clear quote.
