There’s a long list of standards, regulations, and requirements every organization in El Paso, Texas, needs to fulfill in order to be the best and continue operating. Starting with generic ones such as ISO 9001. But what makes them so important?
First, regulations are mandatory and established by the law, which makes them pretty clear why it is necessary to fulfill all of them. However, for ISO standards, most business owners have doubts about why they would need to focus on them and even implement others that are not mandatory. Everything is about establishing, maintaining, and improving management systems in a company and other aspects. In this way, the company is able to demonstrate its ability to meet what it promises: deliver high-quality products or services. Also, many standards focus on processes and areas of the organization that aim to help external elements such as the environment itself.
There’s a lot to know and understand about standards but one thing is for sure: you need to implement them and it is for the best. At IQC The ISO Pros, we have made sure to include as many ISOs as possible in which we can train and assist you and if you wish for it, we can implement it for you. You can count on us for generic and specific standards that are required in your business or if you just decide to go for them.

Audits required in most companies
At IQC The ISO Pros, we are able to help you with the implementation of your standards. However, we also offer other services focused on audits. For some people, audits aim for certifications alone, but many types are necessary depending on the needs and goals of your organization.
Our team is able to conduct them and we have made sure to get ISO 19011 certified for it. Audit Management System ISO 19011 is the generic standard that established all the requirements in order to perform any type of audit and create, manage, and improve it. As a mandatory regulation, we have put a lot of attention into this.
On the other hand, if you require your certification in this ISO, we can also assist you during its implementation and get you trained to fully understand it. With that said, we can conduct any of these audits for you:
– Documentation Audit/Desk Audit: conducted to evaluate the role of an employee or worker in a company to understand all the job he or she gets done and determine if it is required to increase the payment.
– Compliance Audits: helps to identify if a company or organization meets every law and regulation established for the industry it is part of and guarantees every element and aspect is in place. This is an independent evaluation that isn’t mandatory for the company.
– Pre-assessment Audits: before an official audit, a pre-assessment can be conducted to ensure the company has met all the requirements in the standard it has implemented, and rest assured the certification will be obtained.
– Outsourced Internal Auditing: the internal audit of a company is performed by a third-party to find any missing information or irregularities that couldn’t be found during the internal audit conducted by the organization that is requesting it.
– Virtual Internal Auditing: allows companies to aim for a remote process that doesn’t require face-to-face meetings nor a large amount of paperwork to get the audit done.
– Second Party Audits: it’s conducted on a supplier by the customer itself or a company—like us—takes care of the process in its place.
– Supplier Audits: performed to determine if the supplier meets all the mandatory requirements established for the quality management system in the industry it is part of and its capability to meet customer satisfaction.
– Supplier Evaluation: the objective is to collect all the data and information of the supplier to determine—based on its productivity, potential and results—if it qualifies as a competent and promising option for customers.
