Embedded Assurance and Certifications
The Arm Embedded Assurance program is managed by an independent corporate-level function providing a holistic and impartial view of assurance and ensuring the integrity of the Arm Management System for the Executive Committee. The bi-annual third-party Embedded Assurance Program is delivered in partnership with our ISO 9001 certification body and reviews Arm’s global operations for adherence to:
- The Arm Management System
- International best practices, including quality, security, health and safety, environmental, and business continuity
Arm Management System
How we work at Arm is key to ensuring quality throughout our products and services. The company operates through the Arm Management System, which describes how our strategies and objectives are translated into aligned action, through our values, policies, people and structures. It describes what we do, how we do it, and how we push ourselves to continually improve, as one Arm, together.
Quality Assured
“Arm’s approach is to run a management system that intimately links our strategies and initiatives with how we work, and we have designed the Arm Management System as a framework to inspire, align, and assure.”
Hobson Bullman, VP Operations, Arm
“The Arm Management System is both Executive Committee mandated and approved and forms the foundation for everything we do to ensure quality throughout our product and service portfolio. Not only is it well defined but it’s independently verified to provide valuable insight into how we can ensure continual improvement.”
Rick Wilson, Head of Quality, Arm
