Welcome to Qdot. Qdot International Consultancy is a trusted ISO consultancy for businesses across Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait. Since 2016, Qdot has helped 4,000+ organisations across the GCC and Pakistan implement practical management systems, prepare for accredited certification audits and maintain long-term compliance.
No shortcuts. No certificate mills. No malpractice. Just proper ISO consultancy from experienced consultants who understand the regional market and GCC business environment.
This regional platform supports businesses in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait that need practical guidance for ISO standards, food safety systems, social compliance, product registration and sector-specific management systems. With established experience in the UAE, Qatar and Pakistan, Qdot now supports clients across these important GCC markets through a structured, practical and business-focused consultancy approach.
Our role is to help organisations understand the applicable ISO requirements, identify gaps, develop useful documentation, train relevant teams, implement the system, conduct internal audits and prepare for certification audits through recognised third-party certification bodies.
Why Businesses Across KSA, Oman, Bahrain & Kuwait Choose Qdot
Businesses across the Gulf face growing pressure to demonstrate quality, safety, environmental responsibility, food safety, information security, business continuity and customer confidence. ISO certification is no longer just a tender requirement β for many organisations, it has become part of operational discipline, market access, customer approval and long-term business credibility.
Qdot supports organisations across Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait with ISO consultancy, gap analysis, documentation, training, implementation support, internal audit, management review and certification audit preparation. Our regional experience helps companies build systems that work in their real operations β not paperwork prepared for an audit file.
Qdot is a pure ISO consultancy firm, not a certification body. This distinction matters. We work transparently with certification bodies accredited under UKAS, DAkkS, EIAC and other recognised members of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). We never sell certificates, never partner with certificate mills and never compromise on the integrity that has earned us long-term relationships with organisations such as ADNOC, Tasnee Petrochemical, Modern Mills, Al Masaood Group, AZDAN, Mazzraty and 4,000+ others.
Established in 2016, Qdot has grown into a team of 19: 10 specialist consultants with deep expertise across QHSE, food safety, information security, business continuity, accreditation standards, social compliance and product registration, plus 9 dedicated support staff.

Management System Standards
We have classified our management system consultancy services into different clusters for easier understanding. These clusters help organisations identify the most relevant standard for their sector, risk level and business requirement.
QHSE Standards: Qdot supports organisations with ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. These standards are highly relevant for companies operating in construction, contracting, manufacturing, oil and gas support, logistics, facility management, engineering services, healthcare, education and general service industries across Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.
Food Standards: Qdot provides food safety consultancy support for HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, Halal, organic-related programmes (including USDA-NOP and EU Organic Certification) and other food safety requirements. These services are useful for food manufacturers, catering companies, restaurants, cloud kitchens, hotels, warehouses, cold storage facilities, food packaging businesses, importers, exporters and retail food operations across the region.
Perfumes and Cosmetics: For perfume, cosmetics and personal care businesses, Qdot provides consultancy support for GMP and ISO 22716 requirements. These services are relevant for manufacturers, contract manufacturers, private-label brands, warehouses, distributors and companies planning market access or customer approval in GCC markets.
Social Compliance: Qdot supports organisations with social compliance and responsible business requirements such as SEDEX-SMETA, WRAP, amfori BSCI, SA 8000, ISO 26000, EcoVadis, RJC, SLCP and ESG-related requirements.

ISO Certification Cost
The cost of ISO certification support in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait depends on the selected standard, organisation size, number of employees, number of sites, current system maturity, documentation status, industry risk, training requirements and the level of implementation support required. A small service company may need a shorter and simpler project, while a multi-site industrial, food, construction, logistics or healthcare organisation may need a more detailed implementation plan.
Qdot keeps the process transparent by first understanding your business activity, certification objective and operational scope. Based on this understanding, we propose a practical consultancy plan that covers the required activities without unnecessary documentation or over-complicated procedures.
For organisations planning ISO certification, the overall investment may include consultancy support, staff training, internal audit preparation, certification body audit fees and, where applicable, travel or sector-specific technical support. Qdot can guide clients on the expected scope and help them plan the certification journey in a practical and cost-effective manner.

Qdot provides ISO system maintenance services for organisations that need ongoing support after certification.

Our system maintenance support can be arranged on a monthly, quarterly or project-based basis depending on the client's needs. Qdot can also support IT-related governance, risk, compliance, IT service management and cyber security management system requirements where relevant.
