Precision Digital Forensics, Inc. (PDFI) announced today they are expanding and moving their ISO accreditation consulting services to a new company, Accredit-IT (www.accredit411.com), to better meet the needs of forensic organizations seeking ISO accreditation.
Plans to expand its ISO accreditation consulting services were initiated in January 2017, when PDFI began receiving ISO accreditation consulting requests from non-digital forensic science disciplines.
Accredit-IT will offer auditing, quality document development & integration, staffing & program management, and consulting services to forensic organizations seeking ISO/IEC 17020 and/or ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.
“The opening of Accredit-IT is an important step towards realizing our goal of helping organizations navigate the challenges of accrediting a forensics program,” said Clayton D. Schilling, President and CEO. “Our unique ability to simplify program development and our successful track record in developing accredited quality management systems makes us an enviable partner.”
The forensic science community has been undergoing changes since the release of the 2009 National Academy of Sciences Report “Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward”. The findings of the report were not favorable and 13 improvement recommendations were provided. “…mandatory accreditation of all forensic laboratories…”, was one of those recommendations and is the driving force behind the formation of Accredit-IT.
Accredit-IT President and CEO, Clayton D Schilling has been actively involved in ISO accreditation since 2004. His nearly 15 years’ experience developing, managing, auditing, and assessing ISO accredited programs, experience serving as a member on the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board-International (ASCLD/LAB) Board of Directors, and his in-depth knowledge, understanding, and operational familiarity with ISO standards, ILAC guidance and policy documents, and accrediting body supplemental accreditation requirements provides Accredit-IT with the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to efficiently and effectively develop comprehensive ISO accreditable quality management systems.
