Frequently Asked Questions
No. QRC provides independent ISO 27001 audit and certification services only. We do not provide consulting, implementation support, or gap assessments - this ensures there is no conflict of interest in the certification process.
Stage 1 reviews your ISMS documentation, scope, context, risk assessment, and Statement of Applicability to determine readiness for Stage 2. Stage 2 verifies actual implementation and effectiveness of the ISMS against all ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements.
From application to certificate issuance, the process typically takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on organization size, scope complexity, and how quickly any audit findings are closed. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits themselves each take 1 to 5 days depending on scope.
Nonconformities are documented in a clear Nonconformity Report. Minor nonconformities typically require evidence of correction before certificate issuance. Major nonconformities may require a partial follow-up audit. The process is structured - finding nonconformities does not automatically mean certification is failed.
Certification follows a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits in Year 1 and Year 2. A full recertification audit is conducted before the end of Year 3.
Yes. QRC plans and conducts multi-site audits based on scope, locations, central functions, and statistically valid sampling. Consolidated certification cycles are available for organizations with multiple sites under a single ISMS scope.
Yes. QRC supports transfer audits for organizations moving from an existing certification body. A transfer audit reviews your current certification status and audits conformity before issuing a QRC certificate.
