The main reason why many business owners choose not to get ISO certified is because it can be a time-consuming task, requiring multiple consultations and visits to your premises. In fact, ISO 27001 certification typically takes between 3 and 12 months to complete, depending on your organisation’s size, complexity and existing security maturity.
But what if we told you it didn’t need to take that long? And that you can actually skip the time-consuming consultations and visits and get your company ISO 27001 certified in as little as 7 days?
Well, that’s exactly the service we offer here at ISO Accelerator!

SHORT ANSWER: No, ISO 9001 certification does not have to be UKAS accredited.
First of all, it's important to understand that UKAS don't provide ISO 9001 certification directly. They're actually on the level above that, providing accreditation for the certification bodies who can get your business certified.
But UKAS-accredited certification companies are not the only bodies who can provide valid ISO 9001 certification. Other accreditation bodies do exist; for example, ISO Accelerator is accredited by the IAFDC, and this allows us to provide a dynamic alternative to UKAS-accredited certification services.
