ISO – The International Organization for Standardization

Driving ISO initiatives with Business Process Management (BPM) creates far-reaching value for your organization, going beyond the ISO audit certification. While ISO standards are extremely useful to organizations, some of the standards lack a comprehensive outlook of the needs of modern businesses. Beyond a standard designed to facilitate international trade, ISO certification provides value in the form of marketing appeal and by fulfilling customer requirements. In order to achieve optimal business practices that will maximize your ROI, industry best practices provide ISO’s missing components.

Understanding ISO: Definition

ISO Standards are documents which provide guidelines, requirements and specifications to ensure products, processes and services fit their purpose. Economic uncertainty has forced companies to find ways to become more efficient in order to maintain profitability and be globally competitive. Formal performance improvement programs like ISO 9000 help to improve quality and operational efficiency, granting your company a competitive edge.

ISO 9001

International standard that specifies requirements for a  QMS. It is the most popular standard in the ISO 9000 series and the only standard in the series to which organizations can certify.

First published in 1987 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The current version of ISO 9001 was released in September 2015.

ISO 13485

In short, ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized standard that the following countries have adopted: Europe, Canada, Australia and other markets. Excluding Canada, the application of ISO 13485 is not a requirement but is the de facto standard in use today as a measurement of full QMS compliance set forth on medical device regulations.

ISO 14000

Environmental Management ISO 14000 ensures that a company minimizes the effect its activities have on the environment by implementing specific controls at the process level. ISO 14000 enables companies to reduce the penalties and fines conferred when environmental laws are breached. Furthermore, the adoption of ISO 14000 reduces waste, cutting down overhead, and ensuring the efficient use of materials.

ISO 20000

Technology Management ISO 20000 is an IT governance initiative intended to standardize IT policy by adopting standard best-practice processes in IT service. IS0 20000 is quickly becoming integral to modern business, as IT and business become more and more reliant on each other. By attaining compliance under ISO 20000, your company can increase efficiency in its delivery of IT services by providing a solid technology framework.

ISO 27000

The ISO 27000 international series of standards is the leading measurement metric for Security techniques as they relate to Information Security Management Systems. It is composed of a combination of policies and processes for organizations to form a framework to protect their information through the adoption of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). ISO 27001 is the most referenced standard in this series for certification.
