ISO 19600 Certificate

What is ISO 19600:2014?
ISO 19600:2014 is an international standard that provides guidelines for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining, and improving a compliance management system. It helps organizations operate with integrity by aligning business operations with legal obligations, industry standards, and internal policies. The standard is applicable to organizations of all sizes and sectors, supporting a culture of compliance and ethical conduct across all levels.

ISO 19600 – Overview
ISO 19600 offers a flexible and risk-based approach to compliance management, enabling organizations to embed compliance into their daily operations. It is based on the principles of good governance, transparency, and sustainability. The standard draws from ISO management system structures, particularly ISO 31000 (risk management), allowing easy integration with existing systems such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. Organizations can use ISO 19600 to reduce legal risks, prevent misconduct, and demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.

ISO 19600 Implementation Process
The implementation begins with a gap analysis to understand current compliance practices and identify areas for alignment. Organizations define their compliance policy, responsibilities, and risk assessment procedures. The next step involves setting up compliance programs, documentation, and training. Performance is then monitored through internal reviews and audits. The system is continuously improved based on feedback, regulatory changes, and performance results. ISO 19600 follows a “Plan-Do-Check-Act” cycle, allowing ongoing effectiveness and adaptability.
