Certification signals to clients, regulators and partners that your processes are controlled, measurable and continually improving.

Frequently asked questions
Why do startups & dpiit-recognised companies need ISO 9001?
Enterprise procurement teams require ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification before onboarding SaaS or tech startups as vendors. ISO 9001 gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does ISO 9001 take for a startups & dpiit-recognised company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
Can a startup with 10 employees get ISO 27001 certified?
Absolutely. ISO 27001 is applicable to organizations of any size. We have helped multiple startups with 5–20 employees achieve ISO 27001 certification in 3–4 months. The scope is proportionate to the organization — a lean startup requires a lean ISMS, not an enterprise-scale one.
What is the cost of ISO 27001 certification for a DPIIT startup?
For a small startup, total costs (consultancy + certification body) typically range from ₹1.5–3.5 lakh. We offer startup packages with phased payments and lean documentation frameworks that significantly reduce implementation effort for small teams.
How long does ISO 9001 certification take in India?
Typically 3–6 months depending on organization size, existing processes, and readiness. Small organizations can achieve it in 3 months; large enterprises may take 6–9 months.
What is the cost of ISO 9001 certification in India?
Costs range from ₹50,000 to ₹5,00,000+ depending on organization size, number of sites, and chosen certifying body. Contact us for a precise quote based on your scope.
