ISO Auditing Services

At Proactive Compliance our qualified and experienced management system auditors assist businesses with auditing programs to verify compliance and continuous improvement.

Beyond just getting through a mandatory requirement, ISO auditing is a tool for understanding how your systems actually work day-to-day. The value of an audit comes from identifying risks, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

At Proactive Compliance, ISO auditing is approached as a working process. The focus is on how your management systems operate in the real world, from being on-site and in offices, across day-to-day operations, all while still meeting the intent and requirements of the relevant ISO standards.

Whether you’re maintaining certification, preparing for an external audit, or building confidence in your systems, a well-run audit gives you clarity and control.

Our ISO Audit Services

Our experienced and qualified auditors assist with management system auditing services including:

Gap Analysis

A gap analysis is an assessment of your current processes and procedures against the requirements of the relevant standards to identify gaps and develop an action plan for implementation. A gap analysis normally takes place when initially setting up an ISO management system to ensure that your operations are up to par.

Internal Audits

Internal audits don’t need to be daunting or stressful. Internal audits are required to determine whether your management systems is operating in accord with your plans and procedures and can be deemed to be in alignment with either ISO9001 Quality Management Systems, ISO45001 Safety Management Systems, or ISO14001 Environmental Management Systems

Second Party Supplier Audits

An audit of a supplier’s quality system to determine if the system complies with an identified ISO standard and customer-specified requirements.

Verification Audit

An audit by a qualified independent auditor against a defined standard, where there is no requirement for formal certification of the management system by an accredited Certification Assessment Body.

How are audits conducted?

Audits may be conducted on-site at your business or supplier premises, or remotely by ICT (Information and Communication Technology) methods.

Why is ISO Auditing Important?

Most organisations implement ISO standards to bring structure, consistency, and accountability to their operations. Auditing confirms whether a structure is actually appropriate.

Identifying Issues Early

Internal and second-party audits help identify issues before they become incidents, non-conformances, or regulatory problems. They highlight where procedures don’t match practice, where controls aren’t effective, or where risks have changed over time.

Supporting Continuous Improvement

Audits provide evidence-based insight into what’s working and what isn’t, helping management make informed decisions rather than assumptions. They uncover inefficiencies that, once corrected, improve productivity and reduce operational friction.

Demonstrating Due Diligence and Compliance

From a compliance perspective, regular auditing demonstrates due diligence. It shows regulators, certification bodies, and stakeholders that systems are actively monitored, reviewed, and improved.

Standards-Aligned, Risk-Based Auditing

Proactive Compliance conducts audits aligned with standards such as ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 45001 (WHS), ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 27001 (Information Security), and other relevant frameworks. Each audit is scoped to suit the size, complexity, and risk profile of the organisation.

Why do Organisations Outsource Audits?

There are many reasons why organisations may outsource an ISO audit program:

Maintain regular audit schedules
Maintain independence from the processes to be audited
Outsourcing audits may be more cost-effective than training internal auditors
An outside experienced auditor is more likely to conduct a value-added audit (i.e. find opportunities to improve system effectiveness)
