CIRQ, an accredited International Standards Organization (ISO) audit and certification body that is a subsidiary of the Insights Association, has announced that Full Circle Research has been recertified to the ISO 20252:2019 Standard—Market, opinion and social research, including insights and data analytics.
ISO 20252 addresses market research stakeholder needs and includes data practices, ethical requirements, and clauses on data management security that align with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). ISO 20252:2019 establishes globally recognized terms, definitions, and service requirements for project management in research organizations. Processes outlined in ISO 20252:2019 are designed to produce transparent, consistent, well-documented, and error-free methods of conducting and managing research projects. Full Circle Research was originally certified to the ISO 20252 Standard in November of 2014. This recertification will extend to April of 2027.
Headquartered in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area, Full Circle Research provides online market research sample in the U.S., European, APAC, and LATAM regions. Full Circle also provides project management and consulting services for community/niche sample building, sample/community strategy, sample profiling, and sample quality. This certification applies to the Full Circle offices in Potomac, MD, and Shelton, CT.
“Ten years ago, we committed to meeting the standards set by ISO for market research sample,” said Nate Lynch, CEO at Full Circle Research. “That pivotal decision has shaped and protected the quality of our data, processes, technology, and team expertise ever since. CIRQ has been a supportive and instrumental partner in ensuring we continue to deliver the highest-quality insights to our clients. Here’s to another ten years!”
“Kudos to Full Circle on its tenth anniversary as an ISO 20252-certified company,” commented CIRQ Managing Director Juliana Wood. “They continue to be a devoted advocate for data quality in the consumer insights industry. Full Circle’s products and messaging command respect because they’re backed by their commitment to audited, certified processes.”
