"Your Comprehensive Solution to Compliance and Risk management"

In recent years, the effective management of compliance and risk has emerged as an absolute priority for the survival and success of both commercial and public-sector organisations.

Compliance Management

Organisations today face increasing demands to maintain and demonstrate compliance to a wide range of requirements such as:

  • ISO 9001 Quality
  • OHSAS 18001/AS/NZS 4801 Occupational Health and Safety
  • ISO 14001 Environment
  • ISO 22000 / HACCP Food Safety
  • ISO 27001 Information Security
  • ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security
  • Industry accreditation
  • The list goes on...Depending on activity and location, your organisation may also be subject to numerous legislative, regulatory, and other requirements.

Risk management

Without risk - nothing ever gets done, but the management of risk has always been an integral part of good business practice. The importance of risk management has been emphasised by many high profile events of recent years.

The penalties of noncompliance or ignoring risks can be severe, including: business disruption, bad public relations, heavy fines and even imprisonment. The greatest risk is to take no action - to hope it won't happen to your organisation. The answer is to consider risks as part of the decision-making process - to replace ignorance and uncertainty with assessment and appropriate controls or treatments.


The challenge is to implement a system that will consistently and effectively manage compliance and risk. Qudos 3 will help you meet that challenge. Its various modules address the core elements that are common in all good management systems. For example:

  • Objectives - setting targets for your organisation and various units within it
  • Training and People - ensuring your personnel are suitably trained and oriented for the tasks they are to perform
  • Risk - assessing the risks associated with activities, events, processes's, material, equipment or contracts
  • Documents - planning and communicating policies, procedures, methods and business rules
  • Audits - verifying that planned arrangements are being followed in practice
  • Benchmark - comparing performance of various aspects of your organisation and its suppliers
  • Action - planning, recording and tracking actions taken to prevent potential problems, correct known ones, and achieve improvement
  • Meetings - reviewing progress and planning developments

Qudos 3 offers a uniquely integrated solution to help protect and enhance your organisation.
