Implementation and maintenance of
ISO MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 37001 include requirements that an organisation must meet in order to have a management system that can be certified.
We can implement management systems in public institutions (such as municipalities, universities, agencies, hospitals, and public utilities) and in private sector companies (in fields such as construction, IT, trade and services, manufacturing, design, or healthcare). ISO management systems can be implemented and certified by an accredited certification body, either individually or integrated with other management systems.
By collaborating with EQC, you obtain certificates issued by accredited certification bodies, as well as preferential certification rates. Our consultants are highly experienced in implementation and capable of supporting certification within a short timeframe. The certificates obtained are valid for three years and are subject to annual surveillance audits.
The process may include, with the client’s agreement, contacting the accredited certification body, negotiating the price, agreeing the audit plan, representing the client during the audit process, and obtaining the certificate.
Sustainability and CARBON FOOTPRINT assessment
The process may include, with the client’s agreement, the collection and analysis of activity data, calculation of the carbon footprint, preparation of the sustainability report, and recommendations for emissions reduction.
By working with us, you benefit from accurate assessment reports at optimal costs. Our consultants have solid experience in evaluating Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and in defining emission reduction and offsetting plans.
This assessment considers both direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) and aims to identify environmental impacts and define measures for emissions reduction and offsetting.
Data protection GDPR
The service includes a set of policies and procedures to ensure the protection of personal data and compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.
The service also includes dedicated training sessions for individuals who process or use personal data, as well as for staff involved in related processes, to ensure an understanding of legal obligations and the correct application of data protection measures.
We can implement the compliance documentation either on its own or together with the information security management system, as the implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 adds value to the organisation and reduces implementation and compliance costs.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY
The activity involves identifying essential processes and operations, assessing the potential impact of disruptions, defining response and recovery measures (development of BCP and DRP), integrating these into organisational processes, and testing business continuity and disaster recovery plans through live exercises or scenario-based simulations.
The activity is carried out in accordance with the requirements of ISO 22301, by providing the necessary support for the design, implementation, and operationalisation of a business continuity management system, including training for the involved personnel and the integration of requirements into existing organisational processes.
