Summary
Spaceflux approached AvISO when rapid growth meant their systems for quality, resilience and information security needed to mature quickly to meet client expectations. AvISO’s expert consultants worked alongside the Spaceflux team to assess gaps, map processes and strengthen controls, supported throughout by the ISOvA Toolbox software from ISOvA Ltd. This combination of consultancy and practical software gave Spaceflux a structured, efficient route to achieving ISO 9001, ISO 22301 and ISO 27001. The result is a well‑governed, integrated management system they could confidently present to ISOQAR their certification body, supporting both credibility and sustainable future expansion.
“AvISO’s expertise, supported by the ISOvA Toolbox, gave us a clear and manageable path to triple certification in just six months.”
Introduction
Spaceflux is a fast‑growing organisation operating at the forefront of Space Situational Awareness. With a global network of optical telescopes and an advanced analytics platform, they provide high‑precision tracking data across all orbital regimes for governments, satellite operators and defence clients. As the company expanded rapidly through 2023, its internal processes needed to develop at the same pace to meet the expectations of clients and the wider aerospace sector. Spaceflux partnered with AvISO to achieve ISO 9001, ISO 22301 and ISO 27001 within six months, while laying the foundations for long‑term resilience and scalability.
Why Spaceflux sought certification
Spaceflux’s clients operate in high‑stakes environments where accuracy, security and continuity are essential. Certification offered a way to strengthen credibility, formalise working practices and demonstrate that risks were being controlled with the discipline expected in the defence and aerospace sectors.
How AvISO supported the project
AvISO provided end‑to‑end consultancy, working as an extension of the Spaceflux team. This included: Completing gap analysis for ISO 9001, ISO 22301 and ISO 27001.
- Mapping technical, commercial and client‑facing processes.
- Strengthening information security controls and clarifying risk ownership.
- Developing realistic business continuity scenarios aligned to Spaceflux’s operations.
- Preparing documentation, evidence and internal audits ahead of external assessment.
- Using the ISOvA Toolbox to manage version control, corrective actions and audit readiness.
This combination of expert guidance and the ISOvA Toolbox ensured the project maintained momentum and remained practical, structured and efficient.
ISOQAR’s role
“ISOQAR conducted the Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 22301 and ISO 27001 requirements, confirming that Spaceflux had established an effective and integrated management system aligned to its operational and strategic objectives.
The organisation demonstrated a high level of preparedness, with well-defined processes, strong leadership engagement, and clear evidence of risk-based thinking, enabling certification to be achieved within an accelerated timeframe.” – Pete Hadden, Lead Auditor at ISOQAR
The outcome
Spaceflux gained far more than certificates:
- A fully integrated management system aligned with technical and commercial goals.
- Clearer processes and more consistent documentation.
- Improved visibility of risks and performance.
- Business continuity embedded into daily operations.
- Information security governance that meets government, defence and international expectations.
- A stronger platform for scaling while maintaining control and client confidence.
Client reflection
“Achieving ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22301, and ISO 27001 accreditation within just six months including both Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, was an ambitious goal for Spaceflux. With the expert support of AvISO, and particularly the guidance of consultants Graham Tarrant and John Donnelly, we were able to meet that challenge successfully.
Their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear advice made a complex process far more manageable. They worked closely with us to align our processes and procedures, offering invaluable insights every step of the way.
We are sincerely grateful for their support and highly recommend AvISO to any organisation pursuing ISO certification.”
Looking ahead
AvISO continues to support Spaceflux through ongoing system maintenance and access to the ISOvA Toolbox. As the company grows and develops new capabilities, the management system will evolve with it, ensuring continued resilience and readiness for future demands.
