QHSE ABERDEEN asked a couple of recently Certified Organisations….. Why did you implement the system you have? How it benefits your business, How did you go about it and What advice would you give others thinking about starting on this route? 

QHSE ABERDEEN support Sonomatic with ISO Systems and QHSE, this is what they said...

How it benefits your business?

14001 and 45001 certifications have helped to mature and further integrate our QHSE Management system and raise awareness and focus in HSE matters. This has led to analysis in carbon footprint and energy consumption trends as well as increasing consultation with staff through HSE committees to ensure our objectives meet the needs of our interested parties.

Biosus Energy, asked QHSE ABERDEEN for advice and support throughout their ISO Journey, they said..

How did you go about it and what advice would you give others thinking about starting on this route?

Starting off was a little daunting and research showed that a lot of work was required to put the system in place.

I would recommend anyone starting out on this journey, to do their research and engage QHSE Aberdeen to help and advise, but most important of all is to realise this is not just about getting a certificate but is an ongoing way of working that involves the entire company at all levels.

Mintra purchased a Toolkit from QHSE ABERDEEN , this is what they said…

How does a Management System Benefit your business?

When tendering and being audited, if Mintra can show ISO 27001 & 9001 certified status, this greatly reduces security and management system questions saving both time and resource as well as giving the customer the comfort that they do not just need to take Mintra’s word for it as DNV and Bureau Veritas have certified our ISO certificates.

QHSE ABERDEEN supported eCerto with their IMS development, this is what they said..

Why did you implement the system you have?

We are currently supporting corporate clients across the energy sector to secure and deploy project finance globally with INTEGRATI®, which requires building trust among multiple stakeholders.

As such, eCERTO took the strategic decision to lead by example and develop an Integrated Management System that demonstrates our commitment to continuously improve service delivery, whilst protecting the environment and ensuring information security.

Compliance has historically been an afterthought, sitting out with the core data management lifecycle, side-lined in favour of operational activity and prioritising demand on resource-constrained teams. Internal pressures often left the data and information lifecycle hanging, with the impetus and energy to close out dwindling, likely driven by a lack of realisation of the value that compliance can derive when done effectively.

Times have changed, the data and information landscape has shifted with the realisation of the value that effectively governed data sets can yield, focusing organisations to target data in the search for operational effectiveness, innovation, competitive advantage, and value realisation.

The UK Government, through the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA), has a directive to maximise the value of UK energy assets and deliver sustainability and security within the UK energy ecosystem. To support this push, it must ensure that the UK’s digital energy assets are optimised and accessible to support hydrocarbon, alternative energy and decarbonising initiatives, inevitably the desire to achieve its goals is being felt by Operators and their compliance teams.

Recent changes in regulatory requirements have driven the implementation of more structured and standardised workflows throughout the E&P data lifecycle, driving the innovative adaptation of existing processes for data collection, management, analysis, and reporting to reduce time to insight.

The development and widespread adoption of technology advances, specifically data mining, content analytics, cognitive search, GeoSpatial Analytics and data visualisation within better integrated information architectures have no doubt accelerated and streamlined compliance workflows.

Compliance specialists need to keep pace with evolving regulations and industry best practices, continually building on core data competencies, increasingly needing to combine digital skills (either their own or supporting teams), data engineering and low-code techniques to leverage the full technology capability on offer in the marketplace.

Regulatory compliance has further highlighted the value in our trusted digital data assets. Our data professionals must keep pace with change and adapt their reporting behaviours to suit an evolving audience.

It is imperative that organisations acknowledge compliance as a long-term investment which delivers cumulative value. Encouraging positive behaviours, developing, and supporting robust processes and a governance-minded culture throughout a business drives the ongoing cost of compliance down.

The role of an Information and Samples Coordinator not only involves managing the flow of information and physical samples, ensuring accuracy and quality, coordinating communication, and continuously improving processes related to information and sample management but also to drive the behavioural adoption and change required to integrate compliance best practice into an organisation’s Business-as-usual.

Sword provides experienced compliance and information managers to perform the ISC role for our clients, equally importantly we provide the support that ISC’s require to ensure the demands of the role are met, especially during periods of peak activity, such as the infrastructure submissions and looming UK NSTA calls for data.

Transparency, clarity and domain understanding are essential to determining a company’s regulatory stance and their compliance deficit. Navigating the enormity of an organisations digital and physical assets to “plug” the deficit can be a daunting prospect. Known for providing the expertise and knowledge required to shape and deliver compliance services, Sword specialises in delivering achievable and sustainable technical solutions to support all aspects of managing compliance and the broader data and information domain.

Whether leveraging data science and machine learning to automate data mining, classification, and data extraction of unstructured data, or delivering GeoSpatial environments to transform the way you present and connect your data with external information sources to support an integrated digital infrastructure, data compliance enables you to fully realise the value of your data.

The compliance landscape is no longer static, it is continually evolving, accelerating towards supporting sustainable integrated energy systems, which will require an equally integrated, aligned and compliant data ecosystem. Recognising the demand and anticipating the change are essential to ensuring we maintain the trust and realise the value in our digital data assets. 
