Does it combine with ISO 9001?+
Yes, they share a common structure (HLS) and integrate easily into a single management system.
Does it guarantee bribery will never happen?+
No system fully eliminates the risk. It does prove, however, that the organisation took reasonable and documented preventive measures — critical legally and for reputation.
Does it cover our partners/suppliers?+
Yes. It includes due diligence procedures for third parties, partners and suppliers.
Is a compliance officer required?+
A person/function overseeing the system is required. We help you define it in proportion to your size.
How long does implementing ISO 37001 take?+
When your business is already ready, we can schedule the audit and certificate issuance in under 3 weeks. Typically, though, it takes 2–4 months, depending on your size, complexity and maturity. We give you a clear timeline from the start.
How much does ISO 37001 certification cost?+
The cost depends on the size of your business and the scope of the project. The initial assessment is free and you receive a transparent quote with no hidden charges. The consultant fee and the certification body fee are clearly separated.
How many years is the certificate valid?+
The certificate is valid for 3 years, with annual surveillance audits by the body. We support you throughout so you maintain compliance with no stress.
Are you the certification body?+
No — we are independent consultants. We prepare you impartially and stand by you at the audit by any accredited body of your choice.
Is it suitable for a small business?+
Absolutely. We tailor the system to be practical and lightweight, with no unnecessary bureaucracy — it works equally well for small and large companies.
Can I get ΕΣΠΑ funding for ISO 37001 certification?+
Yes. The cost of ISO certification is an eligible expense in many ΕΣΠΑ programmes for SMEs, so a significant part can be covered by a grant. We inform you of active programmes and the funding rate.
