The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines a management system as “a system in which an organization manages the reciprocal parts of its business in order to achieve its objectives.” Regarding the ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 standards, though they regulate two separate management systems, they do share some of the most basic commonalities, which include the following:
- Scoping – consideration of internal/ external issues, as well as interested parties
- Leadership – support from top management regarding resources, communication, and aligning the management system’s objectives with those of the organization’s overall business objectives
- Human resources support – confirmation of adequate support for the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the management systems
- Document management – documentation process and procedure for management system documentation
- Internal audit – confirmation that an independent and objective review of the management system is performed
- Measurement and monitoring – confirmation that the operations of the management system is monitored
- Management review – evidence that relevant management personnel reviews the ongoing performance, continued suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the management system
- Continual improvement – ongoing and forward-thinking effort to improve overall management system
