Grasp Business Continuity Plan Progress at a Glance. Cloud-based ISO Management Tools 'ISMS Assist', '9001 Assist', '14001 Assist' Enable Efficient Operation Utilizing Past Case Examples.

3AConsulting Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, President and CEO: Hiroto Takeshima), a provider of the P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation support service 'Certification Partner,' which boasts the No. 1 support record in P-mark and ISO consulting (Note 1), has significantly renewed the results management function for business continuity plans within its cloud-based ISO management tools, 'ISMS Assist,' '9001 Assist,' and '14001 Assist.'

This update enables the management of progress from 'planning to results to improvement' in a list format, creating an environment where operational status can be grasped at a glance. Furthermore, by enabling plan creation that utilizes past response examples from the 'Event List,' it is possible to reduce the annual creation workload while operating a business continuity plan that is more aligned with the actual situation.

Overview of 'Business Continuity Plan Results Function Renewal'

Previously, 'planning' and 'results' were managed separately in the cloud-based ISO management tools 'ISMS Assist,' '9001 Assist,' and '14001 Assist,' making it time-consuming to grasp progress and utilize past data.

With this update, response items can now be managed in a list format, allowing for a clear overview of progress from 'planning to execution to results to improvement.'

Additionally, the 'Event List' function has been enhanced, enabling the creation of new plans by referencing past events. This reduces the effort of creating plans from scratch each year and allows for more practical operations.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to improve the operational efficiency and effectiveness of your business continuity plans.

We will continue to provide functional updates that are more user-friendly and practical.

About the Cloud-based P-mark/ISO Management Tool 'Assist' Series

The cloud-based P-mark/ISO management tool 'Assist' series, boasting the No. 1 cumulative number of installations in cloud-based P-mark/ISO management tools (Note 2), effortlessly resolves the time and stress associated with new P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation.

The 'Assist' series is a tool that allows for efficient and smart management of tasks required for new P-mark/ISO acquisition and operation, such as document creation and schedule management, all within the cloud.

Developed based on numerous challenges accumulated by our company, which has supported over 8,000 P-mark/ISO acquisitions and operations, this tool is designed for those who struggle with in-house ISO operations, are considering new P-mark acquisition, or wish to reduce the burden on their staff. It allows for centralized management of pre-audit documents that were previously cumbersome, such as document and record creation. Furthermore, it significantly saves time through progress management and a guide function, at a more reasonable price than market rates.

Currently, it is implemented in companies across a wide range of industries and business types, from large corporations to SMEs. In just 1 year and 2 months since its release, the cumulative number of installations has surpassed 2,000 companies (as of July 2025).

We will continue to support companies in their efficient ISO/P-mark acquisition and operation through the 'Assist' series.

Our company has consistently engaged in the ISO consulting business with the service concept of 'minimizing our clients' internal workload to approach zero, supporting担当者 (person in charge) to focus on their core business.'

The current service, which provides not only advice but also operational support, originated from a consultation request: 'We are operating ISO, but we have limited internal resources and the procedures are cumbersome, can we outsource the work as well?'

Our services are often misunderstood as 'full outsourcing,' but their essence lies in separating 'decisions that the client must make' from 'tasks that are better left to professionals' to reduce the burden. For example, when building a house, you convey your desire for 'a house like this,' but you don't hammer the nails yourself, right? We believe the same applies to certification acquisition. We will continue to embrace change, respond to a wide range of needs, and fulfill our clients' requests as ISO/P-mark professionals.
