Protive Security Group
Protive Security Group engaged Poplar Project Management to turn ISO 9001 requirements into a practical Quality Management System that could be embedded within everyday operations. From the initial gap review through to audit preparation, Poplar provided a clear, structured route towards successful accreditation.
ISO 9001 Accreditation Achieved
Through structured planning, practical process development and hands-on accreditation support, Protive achieved ISO 9001 accreditation with organised audit evidence, clearly owned processes and a sustainable framework for continual improvement.
Controlled Documentation, Audit Preparation and Accreditation Support
Project overview
Poplar supported Protive throughout its ISO 9001 accreditation journey, acting as a structured project partner and practical quality-management guide. We translated the requirements of the standard into usable processes, controlled documents, evidence routines and audit-ready governance that the business could sustain beyond certification.
Key Outcomes
- Streamlined creation, assignment and tracking of maintenance work orders.
- More effective resource allocation and utilisation.
- Improved reporting and operational insight.
- Increased stakeholder confidence in the CAFM platform.
// Gap Assessment & Accreditation Roadmap
We assessed Protive’s existing approach against ISO 9001 requirements and developed a prioritised roadmap towards accreditation. This converted a complex standard into a focused delivery plan with clear actions, responsibilities and readiness checkpoints.
// Practical QMS Development
Working closely with the Protive team, we mapped operational processes and established controlled documentation, clear ownership and structured evidence packs. The emphasis was on creating a Quality Management System that supported everyday delivery rather than a document set that sat outside the business.
// Audit Readiness & Accreditation Support
We supported final audit preparation, evidence gathering and the completion of close-out actions through to accreditation. Regular actions gave the team confidence that the Quality Management System was becoming audit-ready while maintaining momentum across day-to-day priorities.

The Results
ISO 9001 Accreditation Achieved

Key Outcomes

- More effective resource allocation and utilisation.
