Why a Legal Register Matters – and Why AvISO Keeps You Up to Date

Understanding and tracking legal requirements is critical for maintaining ISO certification and reducing compliance risk. That’s why AvISO offers a free monthly Legal Register Update — to help organisations stay informed, stay compliant, and stay ahead.

Your Legal Register plays a key role in demonstrating compliance for standards like ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001. We keep it relevant, accurate, and tailored to your business — with no hidden costs.

Why You Need a Legal Register

A Legal Register isn’t just a list of laws — it’s a structured way to show your organisation understands and manages its legal obligations.

Whether you’re working towards ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, or ISO 45001, your Legal Register is used by auditors to confirm you’ve:

• Identified legal requirements
• Assessed applicability
• Taken action where necessary
• Reviewed regularly

A good register is always current, always actionable — and that’s exactly what AvISO provides.
