How we audit

Rigorous where it matters.
Fast where it doesn't.

An audit is only as valuable as the insight it produces. Ours is risk-first, remote-capable and relentlessly human - DAkkS-accredited, run end-to-end by one coordinator from first scoping call through recertification.

our audit approach

Risk-first. / Remote-capable. / Relentlessly human.

Three principles, each designed to remove friction without compromising rigor.

Risk-based, not checklist-based

We don’t run identical audits for every client. Before fieldwork begins we map your business model, threat landscape and regulatory exposure - so the plan focuses where risk actually lives, not where a template says to look.

Hybrid by default, on-site when it matters

Documentation review can be remote, through the portal. The effectiveness audit is hybrid or fully on-site - your call. Less travel and lighter footprint, with on-site time reserved for what genuinely needs presence.

One coordinator, first call to recertification

You won’t be passed between sales, scheduling and audit teams. A single coordinator owns your file through every surveillance cycle - they know your scope, your timeline, your auditor and your context.

The audit path

One path, five stages, no detours.

Every engagement runs the same accredited route. You always know which stage you're in, what's expected next, and who owns it.

01
KICKOFF
Application & scoping

We map your scope, sites and applicable standards, then return a fixed, all-in quote - no per-day surprises. Your dedicated coordinator is assigned from this first call onward.

Output: Scope statement & fixed quote
02
Hybrid · On-site
Documentation review

Your management-system documentation is reviewed remotely in the secure portal against the standard. This Stage 1 readiness check surfaces gaps early, so on-site time is spent on evidence - not paperwork.

Output: Stage 1 readiness report
03
Hybrid · On-site
On-site / hybrid effectiveness audit

A lead auditor verifies the system works in practice - interviewing people and sampling real evidence, on-site or over secure video. Findings are logged transparently and graded as conformity, observation or non-conformity.

Output: Stage 2 findings & NC log
04
ISSUANCE
Certificate issuance

After an independent technical review of the audit file, your DAkkS-accredited certificate is issued and made verifiable in real time. The mark is recognised internationally through the IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement.

Output: Accredited, verifiable certificate
05
ONGOING
Annual surveillance & recertification

Lighter surveillance audits in years one and two confirm the system stays effective, with full recertification in year three. The same coordinator keeps continuity across the entire three-year cycle.

Cycle: 3-year term, audited annually
The technology behind every audit

Built for the way modern teams actually work.

You won't see most of it - but you'll feel it: faster turnaround, cleaner evidence trails, secure handling, and verification your customers can trust.

A secure vault for the documents you share. End-to-end encryption, role-based access and a full audit trail of every view and download. DSGVO/GDPR-compliant, with data residency in Germany.

Secure client portal

Your single window into the audit: view the timeline, upload evidence, track findings in real time, schedule your auditor and download the certificate - all from one login. Mobile-ready, SSO supported.

Real-time certificate verification

Customers verify your certificate instantly - via our public lookup or directly inside their procurement systems through an open API. No phone calls, no scanned PDFs, no doubt about authenticity.

Of clients eligible for recertification, the share that continues with us. Our most honest scoreboard, a decision made three years after the first handshake.

Transparent pricing

We believe pricing transparency is the single fastest way to build trust.

The exact factors that move the final quote up or down are: employee count, number of locations, scope complexity, prior management-system maturity, audit duration in days. No surprises in the proposal, because the proposal is built from the same inputs.
