CLOUD-BASED COMPLIANCE AND INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR THE DEFENCE INDUSTRY

Defence is like any other highly risk-averse industry in the world, which requires compliance with industry standards to engage in business within its bounds.

At Integrated Compliance Solutions, our team has developed industry-specific cloud-based software to help companies build lean, low-burden systems and maintain compliance with ISO Standards and legislation.

With our cloud-based integrated management system, defence organisations can achieve efficiencies and get and stay compliant.

Cloud-based systems that meet ISO and defence industry standards

Done well, compliance with ISO standards can save you time and money while also improving business productivity, efficiency and risk management.

Our cloud-based systems are compliant with ISO Standards such as:

• Quality Management System (ISO 9001)
• Environmental Management System (ISO 14001)
• Information Security (ISO 27001)
• Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001)

The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) is actively acquiring and enhancing its warfighting capabilities. However, local Defence businesses must comply with contractual regulations to be eligible for these opportunities.

Complying with common industry standards, such as ISO 9001, is essential for maintaining competitiveness in the industry.

Compliance can be made easier by migrating to low-burden cloud-based software, which builds all processes into one convenient paperless system. Automate and speed up daily tasks, store data securely, remain agile, improve communication, scale systems up or down depending on your requirements, reduce waste and costs and streamline processes for greater efficiency.

By integrating systems, defence organisations can implement multiple ISO and other industry Standards simultaneously. With a lean cloud-based system, you can make reduce document duplication and make updates efficiently.

Implementing cloud-based IMS makes it possible for defence businesses to easily acquire additional ISO certifications, maintain their compliance and future-proof their organisation.

ISO compliance solutions for the defence industry

At Integrated Compliance Solutions, we understand the importance of compliance in the defence industry and know what it takes to maintain certified status.

Our team of experts specialises in ISO compliance and created a streamlined solution to help businesses achieve and maintain certification.

Digital IMS+, our industry-specific compliance package, was developed in collaboration with regulatory bodies and industry leaders. Designed by our skilled software team, the cloud-based solution is fully customisable to fit your needs. We do not use any templates.

From easily maintaining systems with ISO internal audits, monitoring operations in real-time and conducting a ground-up ISO gap analysis to dedicated account set-up – our package is comprehensive and value-driven.

Centralised processes in a paperless, cloud-based system also make it quicker and easier to document systems and keep information up-to-date for referencing records and getting prepared for audits.

With customised consulting every step of the way, you can expect a tailored and purpose-built system that is designed to meet your specific needs.

Rather than “ticking boxes” and relying on template systems, our team focuses on building systems that not only work – but work for you. We don’t cut corners; our package solutions offer total peace of mind.
