We're proud to announce that Kōtare Group Limited has been awarded ISO 9001:2015
certification, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional quality in Defence and Government consultancy.
This internationally recognized certification validates our Quality Management System and demonstrates our ability to consistently provide services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. For our clients in the New Zealand Defence Force, Ministry of Defence, and maritime sectors, this certification provides independent assurance of our quality processes and commitment to excellence.
Practicing What We Preach
In our assurance work for our clients, we're often pushing for requirements traceability and robust management systems—it's only fair that we practice what we preach as well! This certification reflects our commitment to holding ourselves to the same rigorous standards we advocate for with our clients.
A Modern Approach to Quality Management
Our Quality Management System is built on Notion, a collaborative platform that enables our remote-first team to maintain living documentation, track processes in real-time, and ensure everyone has access to the latest procedures and standards. This approach means our QMS isn't locked away in static PDFs—it's an integrated part of our daily workflow, making compliance natural rather than burdensome. Interested in how Notion can transform your own quality management? We'd love to share our experience.
What This Means for Our Clients
ISO 9001:2015 certification confirms that Kōtare Group operates with:
Rigorous quality standards across all project deliverables
Systematic processes for Integrated Logistics Support, vessel operations, safety-case development, and engineering consultancy
Continuous improvement built into our service delivery
Risk-based thinking embedded throughout our operations
Client-focused approaches that prioritize mission success
Our Quality Commitment
As specialists in Defence and maritime assurance, engineering, training, and operations, precision and reliability aren't optional—they're mission-critical. This certification reflects the disciplined approach our team brings to every engagement, from ILS Panel projects to vessel operations and deep marine engineering.
We're grateful to our clients who trust us with complex, high-stakes work, and to our team whose expertise and dedication made this achievement possible. Special thanks to our certification partners, Kiwi Certification and ECAAS, for their professional support throughout this journey.
