Quality Management System (QMS)

Pace Security Services Ltd has established a QMS in order to ensure that the company:

  • Meets or exceeds the requirements and expectations of its customers
  • Continuously monitors, measures and improves customer satisfaction
  • Continuously monitors, measures and improves its performance

Through meeting these objectives, we seek to manage the effective implementation of our security services. The QMS is designed to assist with the identification, interaction, control, monitoring, analysis and improvement of all key business processes. These key processes are managed to ensure:

  • Conforming services are delivered
  • Control methodologies are in place and effective
  • Adequate resources are available (including competent personnel)
  • Non-conformities are prevented
  • Measurable quality objectives are satisfied

The effectiveness of the QMS is regularly audited, reviewed and improved in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 and the needs of the business. Where processes are outsourced (e.g. consultancy, support etc) appropriate control over these processes is implemented.

Document Control

All QMS documentation necessary to support the key business processes has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of applicable regulatory and other standards.

The management system is designed to address all the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and the interactions between the procedures and processes referenced in this manual.

The majority of the company's documents are stored in an electronic format accessible through the sharepoint. In line with this management of electronic documents, a computer backup system is used to provide appropriate document and data protection.

Documentation essential to the effective functioning is controlled in accordance with its Document Control Standard to ensure that current issues of documents are available at the appropriate locations and those obsolete documents are not used.

Documents received are reviewed and approved by appropriate staff before issue and use.

Quality Policy Statement

This is personally signed and reviewed annually by the managing director to ensure its appropriateness to the business model. This policy and statement is then communicated to all staff via the company website.

Quality Objectives

Measurable objectives have been formulated and communicated to all personnel as appropriate. Procedures, processes and management system controls have been developed to help ensure that these objectives are met.
