Our purpose is to help your team understand the requirements, apply the system, maintain records and become ready for an independent certification audit.

Qdot provides consultancy fees separately from certification body fees so clients can clearly understand the project cost.
| Cost Factor | How It Affects Pricing |
|---|---|
| Selected ISO standard | ISO 9001 may be simpler than ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 22000 or integrated management systems. |
| Number of employees and sites | More departments, shifts, branches or locations usually require more audit preparation and implementation support. |
| Business complexity and risk level | Construction, food, healthcare, IT security and high-risk operations require more controls and evidence. |
| Current documentation status | Companies with existing procedures and records may need less documentation development than companies starting from zero. |
| Training requirement | Awareness training, internal auditor training and departmental training can affect the overall consultancy effort. |
| Certification body fee | The independent certification audit fee is separate and depends on audit duration, accreditation and certification body selection. |
To provide an accurate quotation, Qdot normally needs the selected ISO standard, company activity, employee count, number of sites, current documentation level and target timeline.
