ISO Management Systems

ISO 9001, 45001, 14001, 22000 and 27001 — gap analysis, system design, documentation, internal audits and certification readiness across Africa.

ISO Management Systems

International Standards. Practical Implementation.

An ISO management system is only as valuable as its implementation. Nexis Process Safety designs management systems that are genuinely useful to your organisation — not oversized documentation burdens that gather dust between audits.

We cover five ISO standards across quality, health & safety, environment, food safety and information security. Our approach starts with understanding your current state, designs a system that fits your operations, and carries you through to certification readiness and beyond.

The Standards

What Each Standard Means for Your Organisation

ISO 9001:2015 — Quality

The world's most widely recognised quality management standard. It provides a framework for consistent product and service delivery, customer satisfaction and continual improvement.

  • Process approach and risk-based thinking
  • Customer focus and stakeholder analysis
  • Context of the organisation (PESTLE / SWOT)
  • Documented information and record control
  • Supplier evaluation and procurement controls
  • Non-conformance management and CAPA

ISO 45001:2018 — OHS

The international standard for occupational health and safety management, replacing OHSAS 18001. Specifically relevant for high-hazard industries where OHS risk management is critical.

  • Hazard identification and OHS risk assessment
  • Legal and regulatory compliance evaluation
  • Emergency preparedness and response
  • Incident investigation and root cause analysis
  • Worker participation and consultation
  • Contractor and visitor OHS management

ISO 14001:2015 — Environment

A systematic approach to managing environmental responsibilities, reducing environmental impact and demonstrating compliance with applicable legal requirements.

  • Environmental aspects and impacts register
  • Legal register and compliance evaluation
  • Significant environmental aspect controls
  • Spill response and emergency preparedness
  • Waste management and resource efficiency
  • Environmental targets and objectives programme

ISO 22000:2018 — Food Safety

Combines HACCP principles with ISO management system structure to provide a comprehensive food safety management system applicable to any organisation in the food chain.

  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
  • Prerequisite Programmes (PRPs) development
  • Food safety policy and team formation
  • Allergen management controls
  • Traceability and recall systems
  • Supplier approval and incoming material controls

ISO 27001:2022 — InfoSec

The leading standard for information security management, covering people, processes and technology to protect information assets and demonstrate security governance.

  • Information security risk assessment (Annex A controls)
  • Statement of Applicability (SoA)
  • Asset register and information classification
  • Access control and physical security controls
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery
  • Supplier security and third-party access management

Integrated Management Systems

All five ISO standards share the same High Level Structure (HLS/Annex SL), enabling them to be implemented as a unified Integrated Management System that eliminates duplication and simplifies auditing.

  • IMS framework design and policy alignment
  • Combined risk and opportunity register
  • Unified document control structure
  • Combined internal audit schedule
  • Single management review process
  • Combined certification audit strategy
Implementation Approach

From Gap to Certified in a Structured Programme

Our ISO implementation methodology is tested across multiple certification bodies and adapted for the African operating environment.

01

Gap Analysis

We assess your current state against the full requirements of the chosen standard(s), scoring each clause and identifying gaps, partly-met requirements and areas of strength. Output: scored gap report with priority roadmap.

02

Design & Document

We design the management system architecture — policies, procedures, forms, registers and records — calibrated to your size and complexity. No one-size-fits-all templates.

03

Implement & Train

We work alongside your teams to embed the system into daily operations. We train process owners, conduct implementation workshops and build internal competency.

04

Internal Audit

We conduct a rigorous internal audit against the full standard and issue a formal audit report. Findings are tracked to close-out. This validates certification readiness.

05

Certification Support

We attend as technical advisors during your Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits, assist with any non-conformance responses and support you through to successful certification.
