Testimonials
Orion's team provided guidance from the beginning of the process that helped us prepare for our audit day which was most helpful. On the day of the audit, we were feeling a bit stressed but turns out there was no reason. The Auditors were personable and friendly yet still diligent. All comments and critiques were made in a positive manner even if corrective actions were required. Most valuable were the gems of knowledge the Auditors shared to help us improve our processes and achieve better results. We no longer stress over our surveillance audits but instead look forward to collaborating with the Auditors on improvement; for us and for our clients. We consider Orion part of our team now.
Kim Pines, President
We have worked with Orion Assessment Services for a number of years (since 2014), when we migrated our existing ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certifications from a different Registrar to Orion. We have been happy with Orion’s services, including ease of initial transition, adding a third standard (ISO 18587), and going through many surveillance and recertification audits over the years. The responsiveness and efficiency of the audit support team and the timeliness of certificate issuance have been great.
So far, we have been audited by two different Orion auditors, and we have found both of them to be professional as well as personable. Orion Assessment Services has made the auditing and certification processes value-added features to our quality management, at a reasonable and transparent cost structure.
Most recently during the COVID-19 lockdown of our offices, Orion accommodated our request for remote auditing with minimal ‘red tape’, so that we could continue our certification while keeping our staff safe.

Orion is a top-notch auditing firm to work with. The responsiveness of both our auditor and the Orion staff makes the pre-audit planning phase very smooth. Our courteous and knowledgeable auditor consistently provides us with a fair and comprehensive evaluation of our QMS. His insights into our system and the opportunities for improvement he identifies are a significant value add for us.
