Questions you may have
Is HOZHO issuing ISO certificates?
No. This offering addresses readiness and advisory support. Certification, if pursued, is performed through an independent certification body.
Do we have to pursue certification?
Organizations may use the standard to improve their management practices or pursue certification to meet stakeholder needs. We discuss your objective before scoping work.
Can existing policies and CIS work help?
They can provide a useful foundation. We still review the management-system requirements and gaps specific to your intended scope.
