What Isonike does

ISONIKE Ltd is a privately held, Cyprus-domiciled Conformity Assessment and Certification Body (CAB-CB) accredited by the Hellenic Accreditation System (ESYD) and operating internationally across Cyprus, Greece, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Serbia via an associate network. Founded in 2013 but built on over 50 years of expertise across three generations of professionals, the company delivers services through four divisions: (1) Conformity Assessment & Certification of Management Systems covering accredited ISO standards (9001, 27001, 27701, 22301, 20000-1, 37001, and the recently added 42001:2023 for AI Management Systems) plus non-accredited and proprietary schemes; (2) Marine & Shipping, focused on ISM/ISPS/MLC compliance, casualty investigations, and flag administration inspections; (3) Professional Training, delivering IRCA/PECB-accredited courses; and (4) Proprietary & Ad Hoc Services covering SOC 2, C5, ESG verification, NIS 2/DORA compliance, gap analysis, and due diligence.

The core technology stack consists of proprietary conformity assessment frameworks developed in-house and refined across generations, augmented by an online Certificate Validator tool for authenticity verification and proprietary certification schemes (ESG Management System and Cyber Security in Maritime Management System). Underlying technology is human-led rather than AI-augmented, with no disclosed AI/ML models, data assets, or automated audit delivery.

The business model is professional services with a recurring revenue component: initial certification fees followed by annual surveillance audits and renewal cycles (multi-year contracts), supplemented by fee-for-service training and bespoke assessment work. Pricing is quote-based, non-publicly disclosed, and described as transparent and competitive. GTM is enterprise field sales via direct engagement and the international associate network, supported by organic content marketing (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, blog). The company is founder/family-owned, bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors), and operates with 11-50 employees. Recent strategic moves include the 2025 ESG scheme launch and the July 2026 ISO/IEC 42001:2023 accreditation, signaling intent to expand into AI governance assurance as a new growth vector.
