ISO Certification helps charities to demonstrate that they are well run organisations. Verification by independent, impartial external auditors from UKAS accredited Certification Bodies gives the extra level of governance that many stakeholders require.
2SB work with charities to help them adapt their well developed systems to meet the requirements of a range of ISO standards - quality (ISO 9001), information security (ISO 27001), health & safety (ISO 45001) and environmental (ISO 14001) management systems all find their home in charitable and non profit organisations.
There are many benefits to ISO certification including improved stakeholder relationships and the ability to secure new funding through demonstratable governance.
Using an ISO Consultant like 2SB makes the acquisition of the ISO standard easier to achieve and can ensure you add value to your business.
ISO 9001 covers the core processes of any successful organisation and is what your stakeholders expect you to be doing to be an effective charity.
In order to be effective, management need to consider the impact that risk has on your charity, and we can give you the tools to guide you in this area. Having a well run business can have huge positive impacts on your ability to deliver upon your objectives.
Some charities work in environments that require extensive consideration for the natural environment. With the ever greater awareness on our enviromental impact, charities need to demonstrate that they have consistent plans to reduce their effect.
Having ISO 14001 can help you reduce your impact and demonstrate that the good that you are trying to achieve extends beyond just the principal deliverables of your organisation.
Most charities handle highly sensitive data of both donors and beneficiaries. Effective data management systems are essential to prevent a breach of this data which could do lasting damage to your reputation.
ISO 27001 is the leading industry standard to provide this protection and considers many different aspects of human and technical security.
For any single management system including ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001 and FSC, a typical time frame to implementation is 4 months.
This can vary depending on how effective the company is at implementing the certification and the number of certifications being acquired. Its best ot have the advice of a consultant when doing this but a company can do it alone if they so wish, although success rates may vary.
