One management system. Four standards. Shared evidence.

Operate quality, service management, information security and responsible AI through one connected system of risks, controls, evidence and accountability — instead of four parallel systems that duplicate work and disagree with each other.

Why four separate systems quietly costs you more

Fragmented compliance duplicates effort, weakens evidence traceability and obscures ownership. The same access-control requirement is written four times, in four documents, reviewed on four different dates, by four people who each believe someone else owns it. When the auditor — or a customer's procurement team — asks for proof, the answer takes days to assemble and rarely agrees with itself.

Integration is not a filing exercise. It is the difference between a management system people run and a document library people avoid.

The operating cycle behind every standard

Risk → Control → Owner → Evidence → Audit → Action → Review → Assurance. Every standard asks for the same cycle in its own vocabulary, so the platform models the cycle once.

Risks and controls, written once

A single control can satisfy an ISO 9001 clause, an ISO/IEC 20000-1 requirement and an Annex A control at the same time, with the mapping recorded.

A named owner, not a mailbox

Accountability sits with a person, with due dates and reminders, so the system keeps moving between audits.

Evidence with a freshness date

Proof that a control operated, dated and attached to the control — reused by every standard that references it.

Internal audit against real records

Audit programmes test whether the control actually worked, and raise nonconformities where it did not.

Management review from live data

Reviews draw on the current register, not a slide pack assembled the night before.

Assurance from the same record

Buyer questionnaires and Trust Centre answers come from the evidence already held.

The four standards, and what each is actually for

Cyber Essentials and GDPR work sits alongside them as supporting content, drawing on the same controls and evidence rather than starting a fifth system.

What this is not

iso-standard.app is not a certification body, a penetration-testing provider, a vulnerability scanner or an autonomous cloud-security service. Certification is awarded independently by an accredited certification body following its own audit. The platform's job is to make sure the management system behind that audit is real, current and evidenced.

Answers buyers, procurement and auditors want

What is an integrated management system?+

One management system that satisfies several standards at once. Rather than four separate sets of policies, risk registers, audits and reviews, you keep a single set of risks, controls, owners and evidence and map each item to the clauses and controls of every standard it satisfies.

Can one subscription cover all four standards?+

Yes. Standards are not sold as separate modules. A workspace covers ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001, alongside Cyber Essentials and GDPR supporting content, on the same subscription.

Do we have to implement all four at once?+

No. Most organisations start with one standard — usually ISO/IEC 27001 — and add the others later. Because the underlying records are shared, adding a second standard mostly means mapping existing controls rather than starting again.

How much duplication does integration actually remove?+

Access control, supplier management, change management, competence, internal audit, corrective action and management review appear in more than one standard. Written once and mapped many times, those items are maintained once and evidenced once.

Does using the platform mean we will be certified?+

No. Certification is awarded independently by an accredited certification body following its own audit. The platform prepares and evidences the management system; it does not certify it.

Is this a document generator?+

No. Documents are one output. The system of record is the set of risks, controls, owners, evidence, audits, actions and reviews behind them.

AI-enabled — privacy-respecting

AI does the drafting. You keep the control — and the data.

How we handle data →
  • AI that assists — not replaces

    Assisted drafting for policies, risks, controls and buyer questionnaires. Every AI suggestion is reviewed and approved by you before it lands in the record.

  • Opt-in, workspace-scoped

    AI features run only when you invoke them, only against the workspace you're in. We never mine your data to answer someone else's prompt.

  • Your data stays yours

    Prompts routed via the AI Gateway to model providers whose API terms exclude your content from model training. Nothing is sold or shared for advertising.

  • Isolated by design

    Row-level security enforces workspace boundaries at the database. MFA, SSO, audit logs and least-privilege roles govern who sees what.

We never sell personal information, never share it for advertising, and never use your workspace content to train third-party models. Full sub-processor list and Acceptable Use Policy on the Trust page.

Why this platform exists

Enterprise-grade governance — built for the SMEs and consultants enterprise GRC forgets.

I've spent 25 years in corporate governance — aligning technology, controls and compliance with what the business is actually trying to do. Time and again, the same pattern: the organisations that win new clients aren't the ones with the biggest GRC budget. They're the ones who can demonstrate trust on demand. This platform is the tool I wanted for the SMEs and consultants I've worked with — institutional-grade governance without an institutional price tag, built on the way audits and buyer reviews actually happen.
