Certification services
Complade certification services
Complade independently audits organizations against recognized information security standards.
The Complade difference
Know what the audit costs, how it works and how conclusions are reached.
Complade combines SCC-accredited certification, published pricing and a portal that makes the audit process visible. Clients can see how their information risks and controls were evaluated and what evidence supports each conclusion.
Predictable process
Know the stages, responsibilities, evidence requirements, audit activities and expected timelines before the audit begins. The process is predictable; the certification outcome is never predetermined.
Standards-based rigour
Auditors record the requirement, assessment criteria and evidence for each conclusion. Their judgment follows a documented method.
Portal-led visibility
Plan the audit, submit evidence, follow evaluated audit points, manage corrective actions and receive reports and certificates through the Complade Audit Portal.

Frequently asked questions
Questions clients often ask about our audit process.
What makes a Complade audit repeatable?
Audit points are mapped to defined criteria, evidence is recorded against those criteria, and findings connect the applicable requirement, evidence examined and conclusion. Auditor judgment is applied within controlled methods and competence requirements.
Does a predictable process mean certification is guaranteed?
No. The workflow, responsibilities and evaluation method are predictable, but certification is granted only when the applicable requirements are met and any required nonconformities are resolved.
What can clients manage in the Complade Audit Portal?
Clients can manage applications, agreements, evidence, Stage 1 review cycles, meetings, Stage 2 scheduling and participants, audit-point visibility, corrective actions, reports, certification decisions, certificates and applicable IAF CertSearch links.
Can Complade tell a client how to fix a finding?
Complade explains the requirement, evidence examined and finding. To preserve impartiality, it does not prescribe a client-specific implementation or provide ISO consulting services.
Are audit results visible during Stage 2?
Clients can see audit points, notes and evidence activity in the portal. A result becomes visible after the audit team evaluates that audit point; preliminary activity is not presented as a final certification decision.
Who makes the certification decision?
A qualified certification decision-maker, separate from the audit delivery, reviews the audit recommendation and supporting records before certification is granted.
