ISO 9001 and 27001 certification in Saudi Arabia

Organizations are becoming increasingly obligated to obtain and maintain multiple ISO certifications as they strive to meet customer and legal requirements for compliance. ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (ISO 27001) is a combination of ISO 9001:2015 (ISO 9001) and ISO/IEC 9001:2015 (ISO 9001).

Under the ISO 9001 standard, organizations must demonstrate that they have established an effective quality management system and provide quality products and services that meet customers’ needs and meet regulatory requirements. For an organization to attain ISO 9001 certification, it must successfully demonstrate a good quality process taking into account the operational environment for the production of products and services, the quality ofthe customer experience, the design and development of products and services, and the management of external organizations and Additionally, ISO 27001 is a widely recognized international standard that guides organizations in implementing and maintaining an effective information security management system.

An organizational management system is, according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), “a framework that manages a company’s activities in all their aspects. Although ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 are two different management standards, they share many of the basics, including:

Scoping – Examining both internal and external issues as well as interest groups.
Leadership: ensuring that management systems are aligned with the overall objectives of organizations by providing resources, communicating and involving senior management.
Human resources support – confirming that management systems are adequately supported in terms of implementation and ongoing maintenance.
Document management – development of documentation for management systems.
Internal audit – Verification that the management system is being reviewed in a genuinely independent and objective manner.
Measurement and Monitoring – Continuous monitoring of management system activities
Management review – Evidence that management periodically reviews the management system’s effectiveness, effectiveness, suitability, adequacy, and relevance.
Continual improvement – Consistent and forward-looking efforts to improve organizational management.
However, one must also take into account the differences between the two systems, some of which are outlined below:
ISO 9001
 The organization’s objective is to maintain its expected quality standards without submitting a statement of application
ISO 27001
Objective: To guide how to establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve an ISMS that applies ISO 27002 controls Both systems share more similarities than differences, and those differences can also marginally benefit and complement each other.The process of achieving this dual ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification is beneficial, therefore. In doing so, an organization can demonstrate its dedication to and expertise in managing information security risks while also validating the delivery of high-quality products and services.
