# Amtivo - **Type:** Certification body - **Website:** https://amtivo.com/uk/ - **Assessed by:** The Assurance Desk (Add-Venture Advisory Ltd) A UK certification body with UKAS accreditation for six ISO standards, including ISO/IEC 27001. Its ISO 42001 certification was outside that accreditation when we checked. ## Amtivo scores Scored 1 to 5 on six criteria. There is no overall score. ### Help when things go wrong: 3/5 A documented complaints/appeals process exists with stated response timescales, but no named lead auditors or disclosed audit-outcome case studies were found ### Qualifications of the people who do the work: 3/5 Amtivo holds a genuine but narrower UKAS scope (six standards) than the larger TIC firms in this group, and it is not UKAS-accredited for ISO/IEC 42001 (AIMS) despite marketing that certification directly ### What it publishes about fees: 2/5 No prices are published, but the FAQ page explains the fee model in general terms (dependent on size, location and sector) rather than staying silent on pricing entirely ### Knowledge of your sector: 3/5 Amtivo holds a dedicated medical-devices accreditation (ISO 13485) alongside general ISO standards, showing some but not extensive tailored sector programming ### Independence from what it sells: 5/5 Amtivo Group's published Impartiality Policy explicitly bars personnel from providing consultancy on systems they later certify and excludes any auditor who consulted for a client within the previous two years from that client's audit team ### Who carries the risk if the advice is wrong: 3/5 A published complaints/appeals process with specific response timescales exists, but no professional indemnity insurance or liability-cap disclosure was found ## Sources for Amtivo Every line carries the page it was read on and the date it was checked. - UKAS accreditation does not currently cover ISO/IEC 42001 (AIMS) - Source: https://www.ukas.com/wp-content/uploads/schedule_uploads/00011/04947/8289Management-Systems.pdf - Checked: 2026-07-17 - Amtivo markets ISO 42001 certification without stating UKAS accreditation status for it - Source: https://amtivo.com/uk/standards/iso-42001/certification/ - Checked: 2026-07-17 - Companies House registration - Source: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03325955 - Checked: 2026-07-17 - Pricing disclosure - Source: https://amtivo.com/uk/certification-faqs/ - Checked: 2026-07-17 - Published impartiality policy explicitly separating consultancy from certification - Source: https://info.amtivo.com/hubfs/Amtivo%20Group/Impartiality%20Policy.pdf - Checked: 2026-07-17 - Complaints process with response timescales - Source: https://amtivo.com/uk/feedback-appeals/ - Checked: 2026-07-17 - ISO 42001 FAQ implies but does not confirm UKAS accreditation for Amtivo's own service - Source: https://amtivo.com/uk/standards/iso-42001/ - Checked: 2026-07-17 - Trustpilot presence is minimal - Source: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.british-assessment.co.uk - Checked: 2026-07-17 ## What this provider publishes Not published means we did not find it on the firm's own pages. - Price: Not published - Indemnity cover: Not published - Credentials: Not published - Independent accreditation: Published - Client results: Not published - How it uses AI: Not published ## Strengths - Genuinely UKAS-accredited for six management-system standards including ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 45001 and the medical-devices standard ISO 13485 - Published Impartiality Policy that explicitly bars staff from providing consultancy on a system they later certify and excludes recent consultants from that client's audit team for two years - Documented complaints/appeals process with stated response timescales (3 business days to acknowledge, 21 business days to resolve), overseen by a named independent Committee to Safeguard Impartiality - Long-standing Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award track record (4.5+/5 maintained for 10 consecutive years), even though its Trustpilot presence is minimal ## Things to check Each one carries the factual basis it rests on. - Not UKAS-accredited for ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems), despite marketing an 'ISO 42001 Certification' service with no clear accreditation-status disclaimer - Basis: British Assessment Bureau Limited t/a Amtivo's live UKAS Schedule of Accreditation (ref. 8289, Issue No. 039, issued 24 April 2026), fetched and full-text searched directly on 17 July 2026, contains no mention of ISO/IEC 42001 or AIMS; its ISO 42001 marketing pages describe the audit process in the same terms used for its genuinely-accredited standards and only offer a general FAQ definition mentioning 'a UKAS-accredited body' without confirming or denying that status for Amtivo's own service - Only a narrow set of six UKAS-accredited management-system standards - Basis: Its live UKAS Schedule of Accreditation (ref. 8289, Issue 039) lists six standards, fewer than DNV, Bureau Veritas and Intertek in this comparison group - Almost no independent review history on Trustpilot - Basis: Only one review was found on Amtivo's British Assessment Bureau Trustpilot profile as of 17 July 2026, too thin a sample to independently verify service quality; its stronger Feefo rating is a platform the company itself commissions and promotes ## Where this firm appears - [Do you need a data protection officer?](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/first-appointment) - [Can the firm that prepares you also certify you?](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/certification-seeking) - [How do you change your data protection provider?](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/switching-provider) - [Your sector adds its own rules to UK data protection law](https://theassurancedesk.com/best/sector-regulated) - [Compare providers](https://theassurancedesk.com/compare) --- **Scope.** The Assurance Desk covers data protection, AI governance and cyber security in the United Kingdom and the United States.
