ISO 45001
Introduction

It provides organizations with a framework to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create better, safer working conditions.

Implementation
What our clients say about us
The audit process conducted by BSI really made it clear how far we had to go to achieve certification. Luckily when Paavan and the team got involved, they made implementation an absolute pleasure and had the job done in a matter of weeks for us. Would certainly recommend.
As someone who never really took cybersecurity or compliance that seriously, it unfortunately took becoming a victim of malware for me to appreciate how important resilience is. Mindbridge Consulting made sure that it would never happen again and restored our reputation, always keeping our budget considerations in mind.
We had been an Elastic customer for years, but once we showed our setup to Dexter and the team they showed us how little we were utilising the tools. After a couple of weeks, we've been able to reduce our MTTR and even bring out a new observability product to market at no extra cost. Soon, we'll certainly be looking into getting ISO certified and Mindbridge will be top of the list for that service.
I was really struggling to sort out all our data for an audit, and we actually ended up failing. We decided to outsource our data governance to Mindbridge Consulting and we couldn't be happier. We have now passed the audit and are back on track to achieving our goal of ISO certification.
