Why choose SISQS consultants
Credibility you can check, not claims you have to take on trust.
4.9/5 from 380+ genuine reviews
Real customer reviews across vetting, ACS, inductions and support. Read them on the Reviews page; we never manufacture authority.
250+ contractors accredited
Accreditation outcomes across ACS, SSIP schemes and ISO standards, achieved with our support.
Positive feedback from industry assessors
Assessor feedback on client evidence packs we prepared. We say “feedback”, not “endorsement”: no assessor or regulator endorses consultants.
We work from the official sources
Our advice tracks the SIA, SSIP and certification-body publications, and we link you to them so you can verify everything yourself.
Consultancy plus platform
We are the only route where the consultant who prepared your evidence also gives you the system that maintains it year-round.
Straight answers on scope
If a standard does not apply to you, or a cheaper route exists, we say so. We distinguish Certified, Accredited, Aligned and Supported precisely.
Stay compliant afterwards
SISQS Screening operationalises COP119-aligned vetting: BS7858 engine, clear compliance status and outstanding actions per candidate.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on your sector and roles. That is the first thing the scoping stage establishes. We only make claims about scope and applicability we can substantiate.
They are complementary: BS7858 is the screening standard many security roles vet against; COP119 is the code of practice around the screening process. We handle both.
