How a Fully Digital Documentation Sets You up for ISO 9001 and 27001 Success

We passed this week’s audit with just some remarks and recommendations, but no findings. Our auditor commended us for continuously developing our QMS and ISMS over the years and for the visibility of all changes at a glance. How did we do this?

We are in the unsexy, no-nonsense, but relevant business of electronic documentation. And we have customers who expect us to be ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified.

So what could be better than using our own software product to set up and manage our ISO 9001 / 27001 documentation?

We’ve been following this approach for more than 3 years, and have successfully achieved ISO 9001 and 27001 certification.

Without help from expensive consultants.

Without a single paper folder.

However, setting up your QMS and ISMS for ISO 9001 and 27001 certification is only part of the journey. The real journey starts after the certification audit when the newly established processes need to be lived in everyday life.
