ISO Implementation

The Solicitation Asks for ISO. You Do Not Have It Yet.

Kraken Federal is an ISO implementer. We build your management system, put it to work and get you ready for the certification audit.

When Firms Call Us

Sound Familiar?

  • A solicitation or contract vehicle requires ISO, or scores it.
  • A prime or teaming partner wants to see the certificate before adding you.
  • A customer audit found gaps you now have to close.
  • You are certified, the surveillance audit is coming, and nobody owns it.
Our Role

We Implement. An Independent Body Certifies.

We build the management system and get your team ready. The audit and the certificate come from an independent certification body. The two roles are kept separate on purpose.

Standards We Implement

One Team. Twelve Standards.

Most government contractors start with one of the first three. They share a common structure, so two or three can be built as one integrated system.

How It Runs

Five Phases to Audit-Ready.

01

Gap Assessment and Plan

We compare how you work today against the standard and set the schedule.

02

Documentation

We write the management system around the way your company actually operates.

03

Implementation and Training

Your team starts using it. We train them on what changes and what does not.

04

Internal Audit

We conduct the internal audit the standard requires and help you close what it finds.

05

Certification Audit Readiness

We get your team ready for the certification audit.

What You Leave With

A System You Can Run.

  • A management system written for how your company works
  • Trained staff and an internal audit on record
  • A team ready for the certification audit
After Certification

Keeping It.

A certificate is checked every year. If you do not want to own the upkeep in-house, we can conduct your internal audits and get you ready for each surveillance audit.

FAQ

Straight Answers.

It depends on your size, the standard and how much is already documented. You get a schedule once the gap assessment is done.
