Risk Based Methodology

Risk-based methodology is central to how Con Cert Quality Management GmbH carries out all its activities. It’s a risk-based approach that allows our experts to tailor the assessment according to the maturity of your systems. We’re focused on making sure your management systems are appropriate to the real risks you face.

So, if your system is still evolving and less mature, where the need is compliance to all aspects of the chosen standard in full – then this is what Con Cert Quality Management GmbH will aim to deliver. If your system is more mature, we will adopt a systematic approach to identifying appropriate risks.

To identify the key risks your organisation faces, we take our understanding of your strategic and operational plans, and add to this our knowledge of your sector and markets. We then evaluate the design of your management systems in light of these risks.

In doing so, we help ensure that the systems are complete, robust and appropriate. That assurance enables you to build trust and enhance your reputation among clients and stakeholders.

How it can help your organisation

If you know you have a risk, and you’re not sure you have the right procedures in place to manage it, then our examination can deliver vital information to help you improve your management systems.

If you’re confident that you already have the right measures in place, then we will rigorously test what you have done, check it works and deliver an independent, impartial perspective which gives you added confidence.

And if we identify risks that you had not thought about, then you are in a position to act on the information before something goes wrong.

Independent and Impartial

The markets served by CCQM value our services for their integrity. Critical to this is the need to recognise any potential conflicts of interest in the services provided and to take action to ensure these do not adversely impact on the impartiality, independence and objectivity of our actions.

As part of its on-going commitment to impartiality, the top management of CCQM routinely identifies and analyses the possibilities for conflict of interest arising from its relationships and the delivery of its assessment, verification and certification services, as part of this analysis they consult interested parties who are involved in the industries that are covered by these services. Where threats of impartiality are identified the provisions to eliminate or minimise such threats are documented along with data demonstrating their on-going effectiveness. This analysis is reviewed by CCQM’s top management as part of CCQM’s management review process.

Identifying your risk

We need deep insight into the risks your organisation faces. Our own experience will guide us, but we also need access to insight from your senior management. You should be thinking about the areas of risk that are a concern for your business, and telling us about them so we can help you.
