ISO 90003 Certification Overview
About ISO 90003
ISO/IEC 90003 Software engineering - guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 to computer software provides guidance for organizations in the application of ISO/IEC 9001 to the acquisition, supply, development, operation, and maintenance of computer software and related support services. Organizations can consider it useful to implement the guidelines in the ISO/IEC 90003 and can be interested in knowing whether the resultant quality management system is compliant or not with the ISO/IEC 90003. An organization can use both the ISO/IEC 90003 and ISO/IEC 9001 as assessment criteria for quality management systems in the software domain.

ISO/IEC 90003 Certification Process
We make the certification process simple. After we have received your application, we appoint a client success manager who will guide you and your business through the following steps:
- Gap analysis
This is an optional pre-assessment service where we take a closer look at your existing business continuity management system and compare it with ISO/IEC 9001 and 90003 requirements. This helps identify areas that need more work before we carry out a formal assessment, saving you time and money. - Formal assessment
This happens in two stages. First, we review your current business continuity management system against an ISO/IEC 9001 and 90003 checklist. We will share the details of our findings with you within your Continuum GRC portal, so that if we find gaps, you can close them. Next, if all the requirements are in place, we’ll assess the implementation of the procedures and controls within your organization to make sure that they are working effectively as required for certification of ISO/IEC 9001 and 90003. - Certification
When you have passed the formal assessment, you will receive an ISO/IEC 9001 and 90003 certificate, which is valid for three years. Your client success manager will stay in touch during this time, helping to ensure your system doesn’t just remain compliant, but that it continually improves.You’ll be able to access all the information related to your certification within your Continuum GRC SaaS, which is the first and only FedRAMP Authorized assessment solution in the world. Available 24/7, you can view essential information, such as your next 12 months of visit dates, audit reports, and certificates to support you with managing your Lazarus Alliance assessments and promoting your success.
