Second Party Audits

At Inspecto Visio, our Second Party Auditing Services focus on ensuring that your suppliers, vendors, and contractors meet your organization’s quality, safety, and regulatory standards. As a crucial part of maintaining an effective supply chain, second party audits help verify that suppliers are aligned with your business requirements and can deliver products or services that meet both your expectations and industry regulations. Whether you’re assessing new suppliers or monitoring existing ones, our certified auditors provide impartial, thorough evaluations that help reduce risks and enhance the overall integrity of your supply chain.

Second Party Audits are conducted by organizations on their suppliers, vendors, or contractors to assess their compliance with contractual requirements, internal policies, and applicable standards. These audits are essential for managing supplier risk, ensuring quality control, and maintaining long-term partnerships based on trust and performance.

• Supplier Risk Management: Identify potential risks and ensure that your suppliers maintain the standards necessary for your operations.
• Compliance Assurance: Ensure that your vendors comply with regulatory and contractual requirements, reducing the risk of legal or operational failures.
• Quality Control: Assess the quality management systems (QMS) of your suppliers to guarantee that products and services meet your specifications.
• Relationship Building: Strengthen partnerships by ensuring transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in supplier performance.

We provide a comprehensive range of Second Party Auditing Services to help you manage supplier relationships and safeguard the quality and compliance of your supply chain.

Our Supplier Audits assess your suppliers’ capabilities, processes, and compliance with both your internal requirements and external standards. We evaluate critical areas such as quality control, safety, and operational efficiency to ensure they meet the high standards expected of them. Our audits provide you with valuable insights to make informed decisions about supplier relationships.

When onboarding new vendors, ensuring they can meet your quality, safety, and performance requirements is vital. Our Vendor Qualification Audits thoroughly evaluate potential vendors to verify that they have the systems, processes, and resources to meet your specific needs.

For long-term supplier relationships, regular audits are necessary to ensure ongoing compliance and performance. Our Ongoing Supplier Performance Audits help you monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as delivery time, product quality, and adherence to safety standards. These audits also identify areas for improvement, ensuring that suppliers continuously meet or exceed your expectations.

Our auditors assess supplier compliance with relevant regulatory standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN 1090, and VCA. We ensure that your suppliers are fully aligned with the regulatory landscape, reducing the risk of non-compliance and ensuring smooth operations.
