Who needs ISO 9001 certification?

Strictly speaking, no organisation needs ISO 9001 certification. It's perfectly possible to run a successful business without a defined quality management system (QMS) in place, and even if you do implement a QMS, you don't have to get certified if you don't want to.

Nevertheless, more than a million companies worldwide hold ISO 9001 certification - so there are clearly some major benefits.

If you get certified with ISO Accelerator, your ISO 27001 certification will remain valid so long as annual audits verify that your information security management system (ISMS) complies with the ISO 27001 standard.

ISO 27001 renewal calendar

Obtaining ISO 27001 certification is a great way to demonstrate that your organisation is serious about information security. This can be immensely reassuring to potential customers, who will no doubt be aware of how damaging a data breach can be and how quickly leaked information can spread in this day and age.

Once you've completed the certification process, you will need to renew periodically in order to retain your 'ISO 27001 certified' status.

Example of an ISO Certificate

Obtaining ISO certification is a good way to demonstrate that your organisation meets a particular standard. Different certifications are available for different aspects of your business - for example, ISO 9001 certification is for quality management, ISO 14001 is for environmental management, and ISO 27001 is for information security.

These ISO certifications are recognised all over the world, and they're suitable for organisations of all sizes and in virtually all sectors.

Information security

ISO 27001 is an internationally-recognised standard for information security management systems.

If your organisation's information security management system (ISMS) meets the requirements for ISO 27001 certification, getting certified is a good way to show customers that you take cyber security seriously.

Business owner deciding whether to change ISO certification body

If you already hold an ISO certification (such as ISO 9001 or ISO 27001), you may be interested to know that you can change your certification body at any time.

Your certification body is the organisation that issued your certificate. Due to the international nature of ISO standards, and international agreements for the accreditation of certification bodies, your certification body does not need to be within your own country. You are free to 'shop around' and find a certification body that suits you, your customers’ requirements, and ultimately your budget.
