We don't just consult on certification. We've achieved it ourselves, so we know what it takes to get you there. We do the same work we prepare you for.
Manufacturers and businesses across industries need ISO certification to meet customer and supplier requirements. Organizations also pursue CMMI to improve processes and meet contract requirements. Government contractors are one of the audiences CommandTec supports.
We scope the documentation, operating evidence, training, and audit or appraisal coordination around your customer, bid, or recertification deadline.
Our practitioners build the documentation and processes with your team, identify gaps, and prepare you for the independent audit or appraisal.
The work supports your day-to-day operations as well as certification readiness, whether you serve commercial customers, government customers, or both.
We build the management system the standard requires, run the internal audits that prove it works, and coordinate the certification audit with an independent registrar. We prepare and manage the process — we are not the registrar.
Quality Management Systems
The quality standard most contracts name first — we take your QMS from documentation to a clean certification audit.
Information Security Management Systems
The information-security standard for organizations handling sensitive data or proving security maturity to a customer.
IT Service Management Systems
The service-management standard for organizations delivering IT services under contract.
Environmental Management Systems
The environmental-management standard for organizations proving environmental responsibility to win or keep work.
Already certified? We keep your system current, close prior findings, and carry you through recertification so a hard-won credential never quietly expires.
An appraiser measures; we build. CommandTec prepares organizations for CMMI maturity across every domain and level — building the process system, proving it out with your teams, then coordinating the formal appraisal with a certified lead appraiser. We're all practitioners.
All maturity levels
We scope to the domain and level your contract requires, close the gap, and coordinate the appraisal.
AI capability at scale
The integrated model for improving AI capability across teams. We build the governance and processes, then coordinate the appraisal with a CMMI Partner.
Quantitative process management
High maturity is earned through data — statistical management at ML4, optimization and defect prevention at ML5.
Combined appraisals
Operate across more than one CMMI domain? We build one combined process system so you prepare once and appraise once.
Founder and CEO Lori Diaz holds the CCP credential. We never promise a maturity-level outcome — we prepare you until the process system is real, then coordinate the formal appraisal.
You don't hand off between vendors or assemble the program yourself. We run all six stages while you keep doing the work your business actually does.
Step 01
We identify which standard your opportunity requires — no cost, no obligation.
Step 02
We map your operations against every clause or practice area and show exactly what's missing.
Step 03
We develop the documentation, policies, and processes the standard requires — the heavy lifting is ours.
Step 04
We train your team on the requirements and what auditors and appraisers actually look for.
Step 05
We run the internal audit, surface findings while there's time to fix them, and confirm you're ready.
Step 06
We coordinate the audit or appraisal with your registrar or lead appraiser and stand with you throughout.
We're not resellers or template shops. CommandTec is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, appraised at CMMI SVC ML3, and assessed at CMMC 2.0 Level 2 — we consult on the standards we live under.
Over 20 years we've carried 260+ clients through ISO and CMMI certification and never lost one — a track record, not a guarantee.
Every engagement is run by US-based practitioners who've done this work, delivered remotely to all 50 states. Never an offshore queue.
Founder and CEO Lori Diaz has helped 150+ small businesses reach their quality standards and holds the CCP, CISM, and CEH credentials.
Cradle-to-grave delivery at competitive pricing — one engagement from gap analysis through appraisal, not a stack of change orders.
Socioeconomic credentials — supporting corroboration:
Many kudos to Lori and team. We are very grateful for their expertise and support in getting us thoroughly prepared for our audit. Lori was very responsive to our questions and concerns. She was very helpful in our company achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification.

New to CommandTec? Your first consultation is free — we identify the standard your opportunity requires and scope the engagement, with no obligation.
Service-disabled veteran-owned companies receive a discount on their first engagement. As an SDVOSB and 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion recipient, standing with veteran-owned businesses is who we are.
The right standard depends on your business, customer requirements, and certification goals. In your free consultation, we review those requirements and identify the standard and scope of consulting support.
It depends on the standard, your organization, and how much preparation is already complete. We map a realistic schedule against your customer, bid, or recertification deadline during the consultation.
Cost is driven by scope — which standard, which level, and how much system you already have. Rather than quote a sticker that won't fit, we scope the engagement in the free consultation and give you real numbers.
No consultant honestly can — the registrar or appraiser decides independently. What we can say: we prepare you until you're genuinely ready, and in 20+ years and 260+ clients we've never lost a client.
An independent third party — a registrar for ISO, a certified lead appraiser for CMMI. CommandTec is not the registrar or appraisal authority; we prepare you and coordinate the audit or appraisal with that party.
Yes. CommandTec is a national practice delivered remotely across all 50 states. We're headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, with offices in San Antonio, Texas and Puerto Rico — your location doesn't change how we work.
Tell us your certification goal and we will scope the consulting support your business needs. Your first consultation is free.
