Transition tools
For organisations updating their QMS from 2008 to 2015, we have several useful products to help ease the transition process.
ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 Conversion Tool
This tool aims to identify the changes to ISO 9001:2015 and to provide guidance on adapting an existing ISO 9001:2008-compliant QMS into an ISO 9001:2015-compliant QMS. It includes a summary of the key changes, descriptions of the notable retentions, an outline of the new requirements for documented information, and a complete structure mapping that highlights how the two standards relate.

ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool
The ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool has been created to help organisations that have implemented an ISO 9001:2008-compliant QMS to assess their current compliance against the Standard, ISO 9001:2015. The ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool will help organisations prioritise their workload and initial project planning and prepare for a final, pre-certification audit review of their QMS.

Gap analysis
Gap analysis tools are used to identify the differences between what you currently do and what the Standard requires. They usually present a series of yes/no questions that allow you to identify where you need to assign your resources to comply with the Standard.
ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool
This ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool has been created to help organisations identify where they are – and are not – meeting the requirements of ISO 9001. This self-assessment gap analysis tool provides a clear, colour-coded, control-by-control report on the high-level general state of organisational compliance with ISO 9001:2015.
The results and the analysis that this tool provides is the basis for organisations then to conduct a detailed, granular assessment of their current QMS. This tool is particularly useful for organisations tackling a QMS for the first time. It provides clear direction for project managers identifying where they need to start.

Documentation toolkits
Documentation toolkits provide pre-written documents and templates to let you quickly fulfil management system documentation requirements. Although some work is still involved to make sure the documentation reflects what your organisation actually does, it considerably speeds up the documentation process and provides a ready-made document structure.
ISO Project Initiation Documentation (PID) Toolkit
This documentation toolkit helps you to identify the necessary steps in your ISO management system implementation, helping you establish a sound base for your project before seeking Board-level commitment. Once these documents have been reviewed and approved, this toolkit will act as a base against which you can assess your project’s progress, risks, issues, change and ongoing viability.

ISO 9001:2015 QMS Documentation Toolkit
The ISO 9001:2015 QMS Documentation Toolkit provides organisations of any size or type with pre-written templates that will save them time and money when implementing an ISO 9001:2015-compliant QMS. This toolkit contains the fundamental tools and material you need to easily start your QMS project and continuously support its implementation.
The toolkit features one-time information input to automatically populate documents with common information, a dashboard to keep track of the progress of your documentation, and the ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Tool. It also forms part of our integrated management system, which enables you to readily integrate your QMS with other management systems using our modular approach.
IT Governance consultants use methodologies and tools that have been developed and honed over ten years. Support options range from acting as a mentor and coach to your internal project team through to coming in and running the project for you. Either way, we focus on enabling a suitable transfer of skills and knowledge so that you can easily maintain your own QMS and ISO 9001 certification after your successful initial certification audit.
With our wide-ranging expertise across the entire management systems sphere, we can even identify linkages and improvements to drive business efficiency and bottom-line benefits through your whole operation.
