Ayesda Bio has achieved full IQCS membership following our first independent audit. This is a milestone we are genuinely proud of — and one that reflects the values at the heart of how we work.
What IQCS Membership Means
The Interviewer Quality Control Scheme (IQCS) is an established industry body that sets and maintains the highest standards for data collection and fieldwork within market and social research. Membership requires passing an independent audit of our processes, training, interviewer management, and data quality controls.
The audit process is rigorous. It examines how we recruit and train our team, how we monitor data quality in real time, how we handle participant data, and how we continuously improve our practices. Achieving membership at first attempt is a testament to the standards we have built into our operations from day one.
Why This Matters
In an industry where data quality concerns are growing — from fraudulent respondents to unreliable sample sources — independent verification provides clients with confidence that the data they receive is authentic, accurate, and ethically sourced.
IQCS membership is not just a badge. It establishes an ongoing improvement system, with regular reviews and re-audits that keep us accountable and drive continuous enhancement of our practices.
Looking Forward
This achievement is part of a broader commitment to quality that includes our MRS Company Partnership, EphMRA membership, Cyber Essentials certification, and GDPR compliance. Together, these accreditations create a framework of trust that our clients, participants, and partners can rely on.
From our founder: "When we started Ayesda Bio, we made a promise to ourselves that quality would never be negotiable. IQCS membership is external validation of that promise — and a foundation for everything we build next."
