About Us

Welcome to Wheatley Turner Associates, one of the UK’s leading Quality, Information Security and Environment Consultants.

Based in Mid-Wales, we offer implementation, assistance with certification and support for a wide range of international standards – ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, BRC Food, HACCP & ISO 22000. With satisfied clients in the UK, Ireland and across the globe, we’re confident that we can assist you in achieving your organisation’s goals.

We offer a wide variety of services, and sector specific schemes, though we’re also seeing a current high demand for ISO 27001 Information Security and ISO 22301 Business Continuity.

The ISO 27001 Information Security standard is effective for a wide variety of companies, both large and small, where there is a need for information protection and security – such as finance, health or legal institutions, in fact any organisation that holds large amounts of data. We’ve found that companies that outsource IT are keen on ISO 27001 as it gives their customers confidence that information security risks are assessed, controlled and managed under the company’s Information Security Management System, ISMS. The ISO 27001 Information Security standard ensures that the confidentiality and integrity of records and databases are protected to the highest levels against misuse, fraud or even accidental disposal. ISO 27001 implementation with ISO 27701, the Personal Information Management System bolt-on provides independently audited compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of which we are able to provide advice and consultancy on.

Are you now using cloud hosting services instead of on-premise servers? Consider implementing the controls of ISO 27017 into your existing Information Security Management System. See the Services page for further information.

ISO 27001 is not just applicable to the IT sector, the standard can be applied to any company that has a requirement to protect its employees or its customer’s information and it has close links to ISO 22301 the Business Continuity Standard. Effective Implementation of ISO 22301 will give organisations the assurance that they have taken into account any risks and threats associated with preventing them from carrying out their business and reducing that down-time to a minimal acceptable level.

 

New developments

Wheatley Turner Associates are delighted to announce that we can now offer consultancy on the implementation of ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the international standard for Information Technology – Artificial Intelligence.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is a management system standard, structured in accordance with Annex SL, the format for all international management system standards. This system can be implemented stand-alone or more importantly would augment an existing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management System.

 

Questions???

Is it auditable?
Answer – Yes, organisations can audit the AI management system for their own benefit and be a step closer to certification when it's available.

Is it auditable by certification bodies?
Answer – No, not yet. ISO/IEC 42006, the standard for certification bodies to audit AI management systems has not yet been published. More news is expected later in 2024.

Testimonials

Steve took us step by step through our ISO27001 journey. We set ourselves a tough deadline, and with Steve’s down to earth approach we achieved our certification on time where his background experience in auditing came to the fore. One of our key aims was to implement ISO 27001 Intelligently in order to minimise impact on our culture, thereby maintaining employee buy-in, while taking us to a higher level of security protection. Steve gave us the support to achieve this in addition to the invaluable attendance at our audits. His internal audit was also most valuable giving us a chance to fix any weaknesses. Now onwards and upwards to our surveillance audit next year, and good luck with your endeavours. Give Steve a call…

Edward Bedell, Director and Security Officer,
Creanova Ltd T/A Genovo

Thank you to Stephen and James for all their hard work on getting us ISO 45001 accredited both at our Head Office and new regional office in Altrincham.

We are delighted to have achieved this and that the process of incorporating 45001 into our Business Management System along with 9001 and 14001 has been such a smooth one.

Now looking forward to the same with 27001!

Martin Allitt, Director,
Richard Allitt Associates Ltd

I have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone who requires assistance with certification and support with ISO standards.

Having worked on ISO implementations with Steve in the past, he was the person to call when we were presented with an aggressive timeline to achieve ISO27001:2013 accreditation.

The advice and support Steve provided throughout was crucial to the success of the project, always offering an exceptional standard of expertise and was without doubt one of the contributing factors in delivering a certified ISMS on time.

Weald provides IT Support, Managed IT Services, Office 365 and Virtual Private Hosting facilities across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire. Due to several clients operating in government and security sectors, Weald was asked to gain certification in the ISO 27001 “information security standard”. Weald engaged Steve Wheatley after making enquiries to several possible ISO 27001 consultancy practices. We chose Wheatley Turner Associates due to the straightforward response, honest advice and realistic timeframe to achieve a genuine, meaningful qualification – not just simply paying lip service to the standard. Working with Steve over a period of around 6 months, we tightened policies, procedures and introduced further technical measures to our already high levels of security. Having achieved 27001, Weald is now upgrading to ISO 9001:2015, then later this year will combine the two standards. We have recommended Steve to our clients and associates for GDPR work and have heard positive feedback stating that the advice was pragmatic and reasonably priced.
