Get your certification body listed
Listing puts your body into the study on the record, with a route to tell us what is not on your website. Three tiers, and none of them buys a position.
What listing is, and what it is not
Every certification body in this study is read and scored the same way, whether it pays us or not. Listing does not change that and it cannot. What it changes is how much you can tell us, and how much we tell you.
Being listed does not guarantee a position. It guarantees your body is reviewed against the same seven criteria as everyone else, and that where it lands reflects what it scored. No body can pay for a top position, and none has.
You do not have to be listed to appear at all. Every accredited body we find goes into the ranking whether it has ever spoken to us or not.
Packages
None of them buys a position and none changes a score. Every score is set against the published criteria, with the evidence behind it published alongside, so any ranking can be checked against the method rather than taken on trust.

Why there is a fee
This is the most thorough read of the UK ISO 42001 certification market published anywhere, and it is not cheap to produce. Eight bodies read in full. Thirty-four sources checked and dated. Every public review of all eight read and tagged, 347 of them, and the whole study re-read on a schedule.
The scoring covers a great deal and it does not cover everything. Much of what decides whether a body is good at this work is never written down anywhere we can reach: a day rate that stays inside a proposal, an audit nobody wrote up, an auditor whose public profile says something else. Taking in what a body tells us, checking it, weighing it as a second-party source and recording who said it is real work, and it is the work the fee pays for.
A reviews profile is a small platform of its own. Collecting reviews about ISO 42001 audits specifically, moderating them and keeping them honest costs time every month, and it is time nobody spends on a body that has not asked for one.
There is a limit to all of this and it is worth saying plainly. Second-party disclosure is only ever as good as what a body can evidence. Where something cannot be evidenced we record it as a claim and say so. The fee buys attention, and a route onto the record. It has never bought a position.

Questions people ask
Can we pay for a better position?
+
No. Listing puts your body into the study and gives you a route to tell us what is not published online. Where you land is decided by what you score against the seven criteria, and every score is published with the evidence behind it, so you can check where you landed and why.
What happens if we disclose something and our score goes down?
+
Then it goes down. Disclosure is weighed as evidence, and evidence can cut either way. In practice it rarely does, because bodies disclose the things that are true and unpublished, and unpublished is what was costing them.
Do we have to be listed to appear in the ranking?
+
No. Most bodies in the study have never spoken to us. We read what is published, score it, and put it up. Listing is a way to add to what we could find, and to see the workings.
Can we leave?
+
Yes, at any point, and your entry stays in the study. Listing is a commercial relationship, and ending it does not remove a body from a published comparison or change what it scored.
How is the reviews profile different from Trustpilot?
+
It asks about the ISO 42001 audit specifically. We read all 347 public reviews of the eight bodies in this study and exactly one of them was about an ISO 42001 audit, so a star rating on a general profile tells a buyer very little about the service being compared here.
