Certification that earns the trust of every stakeholder.
OPG Certification Services is an accredited, impartial certification body delivering evidence-based ISO audits for professional-services organizations across North America.
Trust is non-negotiable.
Growth is challenging.
Compliance is earned.
Certification is distinction.
Your customers, regulators, and partners increasingly demand evidence — not promises. Yet most organizations struggle to navigate certification with confidence.
Certification feels opaque
Scopes, cycles, and accreditation language are hard to navigate without an experienced partner who can translate requirements into a clear path.
Credibility is on the line
A weak or unaccredited certificate can be worse than none — eroding stakeholder trust and inviting scrutiny at exactly the wrong moment.
Governance must hold up
Quality, security, IT-service, and AI governance are now interrogated by buyers, insurers, and boards. The audit needs to stand up to all of them.
An accredited partner that audits with rigor and respect.
We are an impartial certification body — never your consultant, never your competitor. Our auditors bring decades of practitioner experience and the discipline of an IAS-accredited management system.
Strict Impartiality
+ 01We never offer consulting on systems we certify. A managed firewall keeps audit teams independent of any commercial relationship.
Practitioner Auditors
+ 02Senior auditors with decades of hands-on IT, security, and management-system practice — not checklist readers.
Evidence-Based Audits
+ 03Every finding traces back to a sample, document, or observation — weighed across three planes before it is logged.
Integrated Systems
+ 04Combined-scheme audits across 9001, 20000-1, 27001, and 42001 — reducing duplication, disruption, and audit fatigue.
Accredited & Verifiable
+ 05IAS MSCB-361 under ISO/IEC 17021-1. Certificates are independently verifiable through IAF CertSearch.
Customer-Centric
+ 06Responsive, respectful auditors. Plans published early, findings surfaced quickly, closures inside agreed timelines.
One certification body. Four management-system disciplines.

Built by practitioners. Run with discipline.
OPG was founded by senior management-system practitioners who have implemented, audited, and led the very programs we now certify. That perspective shapes how we listen, how we audit, and how we communicate.
Trusted by the organizations we audit.
A small selection of perspectives from clients across our accredited schemes. The full list lives on our Testimonials page.
"OPG ran our ISO 27001 certification with the discipline of an accredited body and the communication of a true partner. Findings were clear, well-evidenced, and never theatrical."
"We had previously worked with two other certification bodies. The difference in audit quality and responsiveness with OPG was immediate."
"The audit team understood our service-management environment in detail. The conversation was technical, fair, and focused on real evidence — not checkbox theater."
"OPG's planning was transparent from day one. We always knew what would be sampled, what was expected, and how findings would be communicated."
"Their AI management-system audit was the first we encountered that took ISO 42001 seriously as a governance program, not a marketing badge."
"The OPG team is responsive, accredited, and respectful of our operating reality. Audits feel like a discipline we benefit from, not an interruption."
Unverifiable governance is increasingly a liability.
Sales cycles stall on security questionnaires. Insurance carriers tighten requirements. Boards ask about AI oversight. Without a credible certificate, every conversation becomes harder.
