What is ISO 9001:2015?

The Quality Management System Standard ISO 9001 has been used by Call Centers for many years. In the finance sector the standard aligns with ISO 27001:2012, Information Security Managementwhich addresses the issue of PIC Compliance. ISO 9001:2015addresses issues such as development of agent competence (clause 7.2), the increasing use of technology in areas such as call monitoring (clause 7.1.3), together with the strategic importance of Planning and Risk in clause 6. There are many other critical issues such as regulatory compliance, vital for success, which are addressed in the standard. Quest brings years of experience with the standard to enable you to achieve registration.

How can ISO 9001:2015 help your organization?

ISO 9001:2015 takes you into running your organization as a management system. System thinking enables you to integrate the many processes in your organization and ensure they are linked. Linkage is vital. One of the fundamental principles of system thinking is that a small event at the front end of a system can lead to major consequences at the delivery end. If that event is an incorrect requirement or missing data at the client interface, the delivery result could be disastrous. An integrated Management System significantly reduces the chance of that happening.
