Quality Commitment

BayFirst’s Quality Assurance Program

We believe that the most effective means for delivering premium quality is to demonstrate a full commitment to structured quality planning and control procedures at the top of our organization, and then make certain these quality assurance standards permeate each level of task management and task execution. By continually reinforcing this commitment throughout all BayFirst teams, we ensure that high-quality products and client satisfaction continue to be natural extensions of our efforts.

In accordance with this philosophy, BayFirst has developed and implemented an ISO 9001-certified Quality Management System (QMS) to manage our client delivery processes and consistently provide products and services that surpass customer requirements. Our senior management has committed to ISO 9001 because we believe a well-designed quality assurance program provides our customers the most confidence in our team’s delivery capabilities and management consultation. Our QMS:

  • Establishes and documents the processes to be executed for the management of each task;
  • Determines the sequence and interaction of these processes;
  • Identifies criteria and methods to monitor results; and
  • Implements any actions necessary so that our work and processes continually improve.

In addition to ISO 9001:2015, we are certified in ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 20000:2011. The first of these, ISO 9001:2015, is a set of international standards for quality management and quality assurance. The standard represents an international consensus on good management practices, policies and procedures to ensure that certified firms deliver quality services to their clients.  ISO 27001:2013 is a globally-recognized information security management standard, and ISO 20000:2011 certification demonstrates excellence and best practices in IT service management.

Our task-level quality assurance processes include formal reviews and audits to monitor deliverable, cost, and schedule performance against predefined quality metrics. These processes focus on adopting quality improvement recommendations through rework and process adjustment.

We also engage in frequent communications with customers and project stakeholders to solicit feedback on our quality of service. This includes formal task status meetings with clients, as well as informal check-ins to identify potential challenges and solutions as early as possible. Furthermore, we validate deliverable quality through peer reviews and supplement these reviews by conducting regular team and individual performance reviews to verify we meet contract requirements and achieve mission objectives.
