The Intact Platform · Built for Scheme Owners
You don’t run the audits. You’re still responsible for whether anyone can trust them.
Every CB in your network runs your standard a little differently, until you give them one system built to run it the same way. Intact gives you clean, structured data back from every audit they run, and the oversight to prove your standard holds, everywhere it’s applied.

The Platform
You’re not buying software. You’re buying integrity you can prove.
You don’t run the audits — the certification bodies in your network do. Your job is making sure every one of them applies your standard the same way, and being able to show it the moment a regulator, a board, or an accreditation body asks. Whether you govern a single scheme or several within the same platform, these are the capabilities that make that possible.
01
Scheme Management
Scheme & Program Control
Maintain checklists, scoring, and workflows yourself. No code, no waiting on Intact.
02
Network Governance
CB Network Management
CBs work in your system on their own customers. You see the whole network.
03
Oversight & Integrity
Data & Integrity Oversight
Structured, consistent data from every CB — with a clear line of sight into whether your standard is being applied the same way everywhere.
Trust & Governance
Built for the standard you govern
Scheme owners are responsible for the integrity of their standard—and the platform they use to govern it should reflect that. Intact is designed and operated to the same standards of rigor you hold your certification bodies to.
ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified
Independently audited quality and information security management. Plus ISAE 3402 across the hosting environment. When CBs or auditors ask about data security, you have a clear, defensible answer.
Data isolation by design
Each customer—and each CB within your network—runs in a fully isolated environment. No cross-customer data sharing. Confidential scheme data, audit results, and certificate records stay where they belong.
Full audit traceability
Every action is recorded, time-stamped, and traceable—from checklist configuration to certificate issuance. When questions arise about how a requirement was applied or a decision was made, the data is there.
99.5% uptime guarantee
Enterprise hosting deployed across multiple regions. Scheme owners operate on global timelines—your platform shouldn’t be the thing that creates downtime for the CBs depending on it.
How Intact Supports Scheme Owners
Three jobs, one system
Governing a scheme isn’t running audits. It’s assuring the integrity of your standard — that’s the actual job: making sure every CB applies it the same way, and being able to prove it when someone asks.
Control your standard, on your own timeline
Governing a scheme means being able to change it. Your admin team updates checklists, scoring, and scheme structure directly—no developer, no Intact ticket, no waiting on us to ship a change you already know you need.
We’re building deeper version-transition tooling now, with input from scheme owners managing the same transitions today—ask us where it stands for your network.
- Update checklists, scoring, and workflows yourself—no code, no developer, no waiting on a ticket
- The same configurable engine your CBs already run their own audits on, adapted by product, country, or entity type
- Roll out changes on your own schedule, not around someone else’s development cycle
Every CB, working the same way
Give each CB in your network its own scheme-owner portal to manage their customers and enter audit data—structured and consistent, every time. No more chasing CBs for documentation over email, and no more cleaning up mismatched spreadsheets from a dozen different systems.
You see the whole network. Each CB sees only their own data. And for CBs running their own systems, API integration means audit data flows in automatically—no manual entry on either side. It’s a bigger lift to set up, but for a scheme owner managing dozens of CBs, it’s one of the largest efficiency gains Intact delivers.
- One portal where every CB manages their own customers and audits—no more scattered spreadsheets
- Full data separation: you see the whole network, each CB sees only their own
- Structured data by default, so nothing needs cleanup before you can analyze it
- API integration for CBs running their own systems—audit data flows in without manual entry on either side
See everything, govern with confidence
One CB cutting corners doesn’t just risk that CB’s accreditation. It puts every certificate your scheme has ever issued in question. Intact gives you a centralized, queryable view of audits, certificates, and nonconformities network-wide, so gaps in how the standard is applied surface long before they threaten your scheme’s integrity.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
The scheme-owner portal is an environment within Intact, provided by the scheme owner, where certification bodies log in to manage their own work. CBs can enter audit data, manage their customer records, and upload certification results—all within the structure the scheme owner has defined. The scheme owner has full visibility across all CBs in the network, while each CB can only see their own customers and data. This ensures data security and appropriate separation without sacrificing oversight.
Intact is flexible enough to support both models. Some scheme owners focus primarily on governing the network—collecting structured data from CBs, overseeing implementation, and maintaining the standard—without conducting certification themselves. Others are directly involved in certification decisions, retaining control over certificate issuance even if audits are outsourced to CBs. Intact supports both, and many configurations in between. The platform adapts to how your scheme is structured, not the other way around.
Yes. Intact supports a range of participation models depending on the CB and the scheme owner’s requirements. At one end, a CB representative can log in and upload structured data or documents directly. At the other end, CBs can conduct the entire audit and certification workflow inside the scheme owner’s Intact platform—following checklists, capturing findings, and submitting results in a fully structured format. API-based integration is also available for CBs that run their own systems and want to feed data directly, without manual entry on either side. The right model depends on the size and setup of each CB—speak to our team about what works for your network.
Certificate data captured in Intact can feed directly into a public-facing directory on the scheme owner’s website, keeping it current without manual updates. This means consumers, supply chain partners, and other stakeholders can verify certification status in real time. The MSC, for example, uses Intact to power a public platform giving consumers and suppliers access to up-to-date certification data. The setup and integration approach for your scheme would be defined during implementation.
