ISO 9001 is defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
Different from ISO/IEC 27001, it’s widely known, for providing requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), though there are more than a dozen standards in the ISO/IEC 27000 family. Using them enables organizations of any kind to manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details, or information entrusted by third parties.
ISO 9001 and 27001 were published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an international agency composed of the national standards bodies of more than 160 countries. The most recent version of ISO 9001 is currently released in September 2015, and ISO 27001 the most recent was released in October 2013.
Certification to the ISO 9001 and 27001:2013 standards can enhance an organization’s credibility by showing customers that its products and services meet expectations. In some instances or in some industries, certification is required or legally mandated. The certification process includes the implementation of the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 to guarantee the quality management system and 27001:2013 to ensure the security of company information, then completing a successful registrar’s audit confirming the organization meets those requirements.
