ABS Certifications team and audit professionals

Who we are

ABS Certifications & Advisory is an independent management-system, cybersecurity and business-compliance consulting firm. We support organisations throughout implementation and audit preparation but do not make certification decisions or issue accredited ISO certificates. As a team, we bring more than 16 years of combined industrial experience to the organisations we work with — across quality, information security, process maturity, food safety and beyond.

Our role and independence. To maintain independence and avoid conflicts of interest, final certification and attestation decisions are made exclusively by the appointed certification body, CPA firm, QSA company or other authorised assessment organisation.

Our approach is built around a simple idea: quality and cost efficiency are not opposing goals. We offer a comprehensive approach to quality improvement that resolves the twin challenges of meeting customer expectations and managing cost, so that certification and improvement deliver real commercial value rather than just a certificate on the wall.

That approach suits organisations of every size. Our clients range from large multinationals to small and large businesses across the globe, and include clients from Indian government sectors. Whatever the scale, the goal is the same — better-run organisations that can prove it to the customers, regulators and partners who ask.

What we do

We work across ten service areas, spanning certification consulting, training, audit readiness and advisory:

ISO Certifications — quality, information security, environment, safety and the full range of ISO management system standards
Cyber Security — SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST, HIPAA, ISO 22301 and VAPT
Industry & Food Certifications — HACCP, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, Halal, Kosher, IATF 16949, SMETA and more
CMMI & Process — CMMI appraisal and process-maturity improvement
Data Analytics — from data warehousing and dashboards to process automation
Agile Transformation — coaching and training in Scrum, Kanban and Lean
Management System Training — awareness, internal auditor and lead auditor courses
Personnel Certifications — recognising individual auditor competence
HR Services — recruitment and HR consulting
Third Party Inspection — vendor, supplier and quality assurance inspection

Across all of these we work in a consulting, training or inspection capacity — preparing you for assessment by an independent certification body, not performing that assessment ourselves. Each engagement is delivered by people who have done the work, not just read the standard.

How we work

Certification is awarded by an independent certification body — not by a consultant. Our role is to get you ready for that assessment and to support you through it, so the audit confirms what is already true about your organisation rather than exposing gaps for the first time.

A typical engagement begins with a scoping call and a fixed-price proposal within 24 hours. From there we run a gap analysis against the standard, help you build and implement the management system, train the people who have to operate it, and prepare your evidence and your team for the certification audit. Once you are certified, we can stay involved to keep the system working as the business changes.

Why ABS

Organisations choose ABS for a combination of reasons:

Independent advice. We are a consultancy, not a certification body. Our job is to make the management system genuinely work, so the certification audit simply confirms it.
Global delivery. Services are delivered through our internal consultants and approved professional associates across multiple countries — in the regions, time zones and currencies our clients operate in. Availability is subject to location, standard and project requirements.
Transparent pricing. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price scoping call and a proposal within 24 hours — no open-ended fees or surprises.
Breadth and depth. From a single ISO standard to a multi-standard programme spanning quality, security, food safety and process maturity, we cover it under one roof.
Experienced people. Our team's combined industrial experience means we understand your operation, not just the clause numbers.

The result is certification and advisory that does real work for the business — removing procurement blockers, reducing risk, and signalling trust to the people who matter.
