An AI ISO certification review agent reads each certificate for the standard, certified entity, scope statement, certification body, issue date and expiry, and records them in a structured form.
Agent reads standard, scope, body and dates.
Agent compares scope with the services bought.
Agent notes the certification body and any listed accreditation.
Quality or security lead accepts or asks for more.
Standard, scope and expiry are stored.
Agent drafts a renewal request ahead of expiry.
It compares the scope statement with the service and locations you are buying, and highlights where the certificate covers a different business unit or site.
It checks for a statement of applicability or surveillance evidence where your policy asks for it, and diaries the expiry for renewal.
A certificate on a supplier's website proves little until someone reads its scope, validity and issuing body, which is rarely done carefully.
The certificate may cover one office or product while your service runs somewhere else.
It is held by a sister company or a former name, not the contracting supplier.
Certificates run for set periods and are renewed, so an old copy may no longer be valid.
Not every certification body is recognised, and reviewers seldom check.
Suppliers say 'ISO certified' about a standard that does not match the risk you care about.
Standard, entity, scope, body, issue and expiry are read from the certificate.
The agent compares the certified entity and scope text with the supplier record and the service in the request.
Dates are checked against today, and the certificate is flagged if it has expired or expires soon.
The certification body is recorded so a reviewer can confirm its standing.
A short result goes to the reviewer, and the expiry is set for a renewal reminder.
Bring a small sample and watch Flo work through it.
| Aspect | By hand | With the agent |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Certificates are filed without reading the scope statement. | Agent extracts the scope and compares it to the service bought. |
| Site coverage | Which sites are certified is unclear. | Agent lists certified sites against sites used for delivery. |
| Standard check | Reviewers must recall what each standard covers. | Agent states the standard and what it addresses in plain words. |
| Validity | Expired certificates linger in records. | Dates are stored and renewal drafts prepared. |
| Issuer | Certificates from unknown bodies get through. | Agent notes the issuing body for the reviewer to judge. |
| If | Then | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| the scope excludes the service being bought | flag the gap | Quality lead |
| the certificate covers a different site | flag the site mismatch | Quality lead |
| the certificate has expired or expires before the contract ends | request renewal evidence | Buyer |
| the issuing body cannot be identified | ask for the accreditation details | Quality lead |
| the standard does not match what the category requires | note the mismatch | Quality lead |
| the scope, site and dates all line up | record as reviewed for sign-off | Quality lead |
The agent records that certification is pending and the planned date. The quality lead decides whether to accept a conditional start.
The agent lists the sites named on the certificate. The reviewer confirms the delivery site is included.
The agent flags the language and passes it on. The reviewer decides whether a translation is required.
If supplier correspondence mentions suspension, the agent flags it prominently. The quality lead decides on next steps.
Talk it through with the team. We will map it to your steps and show where a person stays in control.
Record which standards matter per category.
Begin with extracted summaries for the reviewer.
Add scope and site checks.
Prepare renewals once dates are reliable.
It shows how many relevant suppliers hold valid, relevant certification today. Low coverage points to expired or out-of-scope certificates.
Quick answers to what people ask most about ISO certification review.
Book a demoIt is the check of a supplier's ISO certificate for validity, issuer, certified entity and scope. An AI agent can extract and compare those details so a reviewer can make the decision.
It can read the standards your policy lists, such as information security or quality management certificates, and extract the same core fields from each.
It checks internal consistency and dates. Confirming a certificate with the certification body or a public registry is a step for a reviewer.
The agent marks it as partial coverage, shows the gap and routes it to a reviewer to ask for more evidence or accept the risk.
