What AvISO Consultancy does

AvISO Consultancy Ltd is a London-based ISO standards and compliance consultancy founded circa 2013, serving UK organisations across at least ten verticals including Pharmaceuticals, Not-for-Profit, Motorsport, Media/Marketing, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Construction, Financial Services and Education. The company delivers specialist advisory services spanning gap analysis, documentation, implementation, internal audits, training, and certification support for single-standard and complex multi-site, multi-standard programmes covering ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, 42001, 22301, 50001, 20121, SOC 2, TISAX, IATF 16949, AS 9100 and related frameworks.

The firm's core product is the proprietary ISOvA IMS Toolbox, a Microsoft 365 (SharePoint-based) integrated management system that centralises documents, actions, audits, corrective actions, legal registers, training records and audit-ready evidence across multiple ISO standards and sites. The platform incorporates AI-powered automation and an AI Chat Agent for compliance queries, and is offered alongside a specialist Legal Register service.

AvISO operates a sales-led go-to-market, combining professional-services fees with recurring ISOvA subscriptions. The company reaches prospects through SEO-optimised standards/sector web pages, a blog, an ISO Certification Cost Calculator, free workshops, LinkedIn/Twitter activity and a referral network of more than a dozen UKAS-accredited certification bodies, including a BSI Affiliate relationship. AvISO holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 42001:2023 certifications — the last being a claimed first-of-type achievement for an ISO consultancy — alongside Cyber Essentials, and reports a 100% certification pass rate across client engagements.
