About ISO 9001

ISO/IEC 9001 Quality Management sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to. It can be used by any organization, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. The ISO/IEC 9001 is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. Using ISO/IEC 9001 helps ensure that customers get consistent, good quality products and services, which in turn brings many business benefits.

Benefits

The benefits of ISO 9001 certification can be summarized as follows:

  1. Improved Efficiency: Streamlines processes by identifying inefficiencies and eliminating them, leading to better resource management.
  2. Customer Satisfaction: Ensures consistent product and service quality, boosting customer trust and satisfaction.
  3. Enhanced Credibility: Demonstrates a commitment to quality, enhancing reputation and opening doors to new markets.
  4. Risk Management: Helps identify and mitigate risks, ensuring a proactive approach to potential issues.
  5. Continuous Improvement: Fosters a culture of continuous improvement, driving long-term success.
  6. Regulatory Compliance: Ensures compliance with industry regulations and standards, reducing the risk of legal issues.

These benefits collectively contribute to better overall performance, competitiveness, and sustainability.

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.

ISO/IEC 9001 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 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 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.
  • Certification
    When you have passed the formal assessment, you will receive an ISO/IEC 9001 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.
