How to get ISO certified — implementation, training and audit preparation
Experienced consultants from Montenegro, Serbia and the wider region guide your organisation from gap analysis to certificate: documentation, training, internal audits and support during the certification audit. Not sure which standard you need? We'll recommend one — free of charge.
Most requested standards
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), based in Geneva, has published over 25,000 standards, developed by some 170 national member institutes — among them Montenegro's ISME, which adopts them under the MEST designation. We work on one part of that body of work: management systems — the standards that govern how an organisation runs and which, as a rule, are certified by an independent accredited body. We aim to cover the widest range of standards in Montenegro, because our network includes more than 15 consultants from different fields — from quality and the environment, through information and food safety, to laboratories and medical devices. The complete list is in the "ISO Standards" menu and on the all standards page. Call us and we will tell you which standards you need, which of them can be integrated into a single system, and what the path to certification looks like.

Industries we work in
We tailor standards to your industry — see what's most commonly implemented in your field:
Implementation phases — from preparation to certificate
Our job is implementation: we guide you through every phase, and the certificate — issued by an independent accredited body — comes only at the end, as confirmation of compliance.
What is certification?
Certification is an independent review in which an accredited certification body confirms that your system complies with the standard — we don't carry it out, but we prepare you for it completely and help you choose an internationally recognised body. What accreditation, IAF and MLA mean, why two annual surveillance audits follow certification, and how to read the designations used in tenders — we've explained it all on a dedicated page.
Certification / ISO Certificate →Training for your team
A system lives only as much as the people running it understand it. We deliver training at three levels — foundation level, internal auditor (ISO 19011) and external auditor — from a provider certified by Exemplar Global, with a personal training certificate. We run the training at your premises or live online, on a date agreed with you.

Current priorities
Deadlines, legal obligations and the standards we currently recommend most — so nothing catches you off guard.
Montenegro's Law on Information Security (harmonised with the EU's NIS2 directive) introduces obligations for "key" and "important" entities, and key entities must obtain a MEST ISO/IEC 27001 certificate within 30 months of the law entering into force — by June 2027. Implementation takes months, so don't wait until the last minute.
Learn moreRegardless of sector or size, we recommend ISO 9001 as the foundational management-system standard — the first step and the base that every other standard naturally builds on.
Learn moreApplying a HACCP system is a legal obligation for every food-business operator. Food-safety rules are tightening across Europe and the region — Montenegro, for example, has introduced new laws with significantly higher penalties for non-compliance. In the past year alone we completed more than 20 HACCP projects.
Learn moreBusiness continuity and risk management — increasingly requested standards for critical-infrastructure operators and systems of public importance, where downtime carries serious consequences.
Learn moreThe EU's data-protection regulation applies to any company doing business with the EU market or processing the personal data of EU citizens.
Learn moreNot sure which standard you need?
You don't have to know — that's our job. Send a short description of your organisation (sector, number of employees, reason: tender, customer requirement, general improvement) and we'll recommend, free of charge, the standard that's most useful for you. No obligation.

The standard is the same wherever you certify it — what differs is the designation, the accreditation behind the certificate and what your customers ask for.
For companies selling into the European Union, what EU partners and EU regulation expect is on the page about the EU market. For companies with US customers — supplier audits, security questionnaires and how ISO sits alongside SOC 2 — see the US market page. Projects run remotely in English over Teams, WhatsApp or Viber, with documentation and records in English.
We work from Montenegro, where our consultants are based in Podgorica, Budva and Bijelo Polje and where standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and HACCP are a legal obligation for part of the economy — see ISO certification in Montenegro. We also work on site in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo; the area we cover is described on the region page.
