Practical ISO Implementation Support for Certification and Long-Term System Effectiveness

Lopterra provides management systems implementation and certification support to organizations operating in Nigeria and South Africa. Our role is to help you design, implement, and maintain management systems that meet international standards while remaining practical, proportionate, and aligned with your business operations.

We focus on building systems that are certification-ready, but also genuinely useful for governance, risk management, operational control, and continual improvement.

Supported Management System Standards

Management Systems Standards

We support the implementation and certification of a wide range of internationally recognised management system standards. Each system is tailored to your size, industry, and regulatory environment.

Supported standards include (but are not limited to):

  • ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems

  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems

  • ISO 27001 – Information Security Management Systems

  • ISO 22301 – Business Continuity Management Systems

  • ISO 22000 – Food Safety Management Systems

  • Integrated Management Systems (IMS)

Rather than template-driven documentation, our implementation support is focused on embedding management systems into daily operations.

Key outcomes of our approach include:

  • Clear and audit-ready management system documentation

  • Defined roles, responsibilities, and governance structures

  • Improved risk identification and operational control

  • Increased confidence ahead of certification and surveillance audits

  • Management systems that support continual improvement, not just compliance

Our implementation approach is structured, methodical, and aligned with ISO best practices. It is designed to reduce disruption, clarify responsibilities, and ensure readiness for certification audits.

Our implementation approach includes:

  • Scope definition and management system design aligned to organizational context

  • Development of policies, procedures, manuals, and required documented information

  • Risk assessment methodologies and control frameworks appropriate to operations

  • Process mapping, controls, and performance indicators

  • Staff awareness, role-based training, and implementation support

  • Certification body coordination and audit preparation support
