OUR COMPLIANCE SERVICES
Three pillars of compliance support
Every service is designed to reduce audit risk, build internal QA capability, and keep compliance from falling behind between certification cycles.
01
Regulation guidance
We translate ISO, GMP, and HACCP requirements into practical steps your team can actually act on. No 300-page interpretation guides. We tell you what the regulation means for your specific operation, your products, and your production environment.
02
Audit Preparation & Gap Analysis
We assess your current compliance system against your target standard and deliver a prioritised, actionable gap report which is not a lengthy audit document you won't read. We help you fix what matters most, before your auditor finds it.
03
Ongoing Compliance Upkeep
Compliance doesn't stop after an audit passes. We provide retainer-based support for document control, HACCP plan updates, supplier management, regulation change monitoring, and internal audit coverage, keeping you ready at all times, not just in audit season.
REGULATION GUIDANCE
Understanding the standards that govern your industry
We work across the three core compliance frameworks in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Here's what each requires — and where companies typically fall short.
ISO
22000
Food Safety Management Systems
A globally recognised standard that integrates HACCP principles with quality management system requirements.
Required by many retailers and export markets.
-
Management system documentation and policy
-
Hazard analysis and critical control points
-
Prerequisite programme (PRP) implementation
-
Verification and validation activities
-
Continual improvement processes
GMP
Good Manufacturing Practice
The baseline regulatory requirement for pharmaceutical and food production.
Covers facilities, equipment, personnel, and production processes to prevent contamination and ensure quality.
-
Facility design and hygiene requirements
-
Equipment qualification and maintenance
-
Personnel training and hygiene protocols
-
Batch records and documentation control
-
Deviation and CAPA management
HACCP
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points
A systematic, science-based approach to identifying and controlling food safety hazards. Mandatory across most food sectors and embedded in higher-level standards like ISO 22000 and BRCGS.
-
Hazard identification and risk assessment
-
Critical Control Point (CCP) determination
-
Critical limit setting and monitoring
-
Corrective action and verification plans
-
HACCP plan documentation and review
HOW WE WORK
We work inside your system, not above it
Our approach is built around your existing QA team. We bring the specialist depth and capacity they need without disrupting ownership or creating dependency.
1
30-minute gap conversation
We start by understanding your standard, your audit timeline, and the compliance areas your team is most stretched on. No slides. No sales pitch. Just a focused conversation about where you actually are.
2
Scoped engagement proposal
We recommend the right engagement model for your situation which is project-based for specific gaps or retainer for ongoing upkeep. Your QA manager stays in control throughout.
3
Hands-on support, your formats
We review, update, and build documentation using your existing systems and formats. No parallel shadow system. We work in what you already have.
4
Your team owns the outcome
Everything we produce stays with you. Audit-ready documentation, updated HACCP plans, training materials, all authored to your processes, owned by your team. No dependency on us to run it.
AUDIT PREPARATION
From audit panic to audit confidence
Most compliance failures might not caused by poor practices, they're caused by poor documentation, outdated HACCP plans, and gaps that nobody had time to fix. This is where we fix them before the auditor arrives.

ONGOING UPKEEP
Compliance doesn't stop after the audit
The most common compliance failure pattern: pass the audit, relax, let things drift, then scramble again. Our ongoing support is designed to keep you ready between cycles without adding headcount.
Document control & SOP maintenance
Annual SOP review cycles, version control management, and document update scheduling so your system stays current without your QA team drowning in paperwork.
HACCP plan updates
Triggered reviews when you introduce new equipment, suppliers, ingredients, or production changes so your HACCP plan always reflects how you actually operate, not how you operated three years ago.
Supplier management support
Approved supplier list maintenance, questionnaire management, COA tracking, and periodic supplier audit scheduling by taking the administrative burden off your QA team.
Regulation change monitoring
We track standard revisions, regulatory updates, and new guidance across your relevant frameworks and translate changes into specific actions for your system, before your certification body tells you.
Find your biggest compliance gap in 30 minutes.
