Compliance retainer & internal audit
Certification is the start, not the finish. We keep your QMS current, run independent internal audits and prepare you for surveillance audits, on a fixed monthly fee.
Why it matters
Internal audits must be independent of the work being audited, which is hard to achieve in a small team.
Regulations and standards keep moving. A retainer means someone is tracking what changes for your products and updating the system before an auditor finds the gap.
Who it’s for
- Certified manufacturers without a full-time QA/RA team
- Companies between surveillance audits that want an independent view
What’s included
- Annual internal audit programme by a qualified external auditor
- Audit reports and nonconformity tracking
- Surveillance and recertification audit preparation
- Document upkeep and change management
- Quarterly regulatory horizon briefing tailored to your products
