Protect your business with a compliance system that’s proven to work
Why an unproven compliance system is a risk
Most organisations already manage compliance. Far fewer can prove it works. But an unproven system is a risk: if it does not really work, you often only find out when something goes wrong.
Independent audit and certification close that gap. You get confirmation the system holds up, and something concrete to prove to your board, your customers and your partners when they ask.
What certification gives you that a programme alone cannot
Early warning, catching weaknesses before they become problems
Certainty your system actually works, not just looks good on paper
Confirmation you can show when customers or partners ask
Something your board can rely on, beyond an internal sign-off
A living system kept current as regulations keep shifting
One certified system can cover the areas that expose you most
Privacy and data protection
Anti-money laundering
Sanctions and export controls
Competition and antitrust
Code of conduct and ethics
Modern slavery and human rights

Five steps to a certified compliance management system
Speeki is a world leader in certifying compliance management systems. The path from your existing compliance work to an independently certified system is well-defined.
Gap analysis and readiness review
1
We assess your existing compliance controls and identify what needs to be added, formalised or evidenced to reach a certifiable standard.
Building the compliance management system
2
Your organisation develops a compliance management system tailored to its compliance risks, including risk assessments, policies, procedures and internal controls.
Pre-certification preparation
3
Speeki helps you prepare for certification through reviews and mock audits that identify potential gaps before the formal audit.
Certification audit
4
Speeki conducts the official two-stage certification audit: stage 1 reviews your documentation and system design and stage 2 assesses how your controls operate in practice.
Certification and ongoing audits
5
If the certification audit is successful, you receive your certificate and enter the surveillance cycle with annual audits and recertification every three years that keep the system credible over time.

Questions compliance officers ask before certifying
-
A compliance programme is internal evidence. Independent certification provides the external evidence that customers, partners and boards actually rely on. It turns the work you have already done into something you can demonstrate, across every compliance area in one system.
-
Most organisations are further along than they think. A gap analysis compares your current controls, policies and monitoring against what certification requires, and shows exactly what needs to be added or formalised before the audit.
-
Certification requires compliance activities and controls to reflect risk. Higher-risk obligations get stronger controls, monitoring and training, while lower-risk areas are managed through proportionate arrangements.
-
Preparation usually includes a structured gap analysis and mock audits to identify gaps before the formal assessment. This helps address missing documentation, clarify responsibilities and confirm the system operates effectively in practice.
-
Certification follows a two-stage audit. Stage 1 reviews documentation and system design. Stage 2 assesses how the compliance management system operates across the organisation.
-
Most organisations certify within six to twelve months, depending on size, complexity and the maturity of their existing compliance framework.
-
As a certification body, Speeki maintains independence from implementation work. Speeki supports compliance functions through training and through the Speeki Engage® platform, which holds policies, controls, due diligence records, incidents and audit evidence in one place.
-
Costs depend on organisational size, complexity and audit duration. Beyond certification fees, organisations should also plan for any internal gap-closing work, training and supporting technology.
