Provider: Secure iQube (independent consultancy; ISO certificates are issued by accredited certification bodies; SOC and ISAE reports by licensed CPA and audit firms, which Secure iQube can arrange through partner firms)


HACCP, defined by the Codex Alimentarius, applies seven principles: conduct a hazard analysis, determine critical control points, establish critical limits, monitoring, corrective actions, verification, and documentation. It underpins ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 and is required by many food regulators, including food safety licensing in India and municipal food safety rules in the GCC.

We build HACCP plans, prerequisite programmes and training, and prepare for HACCP certification or regulatory inspection.

## How Secure iQube helps

1. **Gap assessment**: We compare what you do today with every requirement and control, then give you a prioritised gap report and a realistic timeline.
2. **Design and documentation**: Scope, policies, procedures, risk methodology and records, written to fit how your teams actually work, not a template binder.
3. **Implementation and training**: We help owners put controls in place, train the people who run them and start collecting evidence.
4. **Internal audit and management review**: An independent internal audit and a structured management review prove the system works before the certification body looks at it.
5. **Certification audit support**: We prepare you for Stage 1 and Stage 2 with your chosen accredited certification body and help close any findings quickly.
6. **Surveillance and continual improvement**: Optional managed support keeps evidence current through annual surveillance audits and the three-year recertification.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is HACCP enough, or do we need ISO 22000?

HACCP controls hazards; ISO 22000 adds a full management system. Retailers often require GFSI schemes such as FSSC 22000.
