- Anti-bribery policies and controls
- Bribery risk assessment
- Due diligence on third parties
- Financial and non-financial controls
- Reporting and investigation procedures
- Leadership commitment and accountability

ISO 37001 FAQs
Why is ISO 37001 important?
ISO 37001 is a risk management tool and brings assurance to management, investors, employees, customers and other stakeholders that your organisation takes reasonable steps to prevent, detect, and appropriately manage bribery risk. It can help you prevent bribery from occurring in the business and reduce the impact should it happen.
Who benefits from ISO 37001?
Every business can benefit from having robust anti-bribery controls, but they are particularly important for organisations operating in high-risk sectors or international markets.
Is ISO 37001 mandatory?
No, but it is widely recognised as best practice for organisations operating in high-risk sectors or across global supply chains.
What does ISO 37001 require?
ISO 37001 requires you to have policies, risk assessments, due diligence, training, and reporting mechanisms. Our consultants can help you organise these and put systems in place to make existing processes more effective and efficient.
How long does certification take?
This depends on how prepared your organisation is already, the size of your organisation, the volume of third-party suppliers you work with and the risk levels. Smaller organisations can achieve certification within a couple of months, while larger organisations can take longer to get systems in place. A gap analysis will give you a more accurate idea of timescales.
Does ISO 37001 help with legal compliance?
Yes. It supports compliance with anti-bribery laws such as the UK Bribery Act.
Can ISO 37001 integrate with other standards?
Yes. The great thing about ISO standards is that you don’t have to build each one from scratch. Once you have one framework in place, you can add to it to meet the requirements of other standards.

We start with a quick call to understand your goals, current position, and the standards that best fit your business, and then we go from there. No long-winded process. No sales pitches. Just a friendly chat to find out how we can help.
