One Document, Multiple Purposes

December 8, 2025

ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 share the same structure, so one document can support both. With smart evidence mapping, you can reuse policies, reduce duplicate work, and streamline audits while improving security and quality together.

When we talk about global frameworks, let's say ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015. It may appear to live in completely different worlds, one focused on information security, the other hand focused on quality management.

Yet beneath the surface, they share the same structural structure, built around a common goal to create trust through consistency, accountability, and continual improvement. Both standards include familiar pillars like, Leadership and commitment, Context of the organisation, Planning and risk management, Internal audits, Continual improvement. But if you look closer, and their core focus diverges.

One is about doing things right and the other one is about keeping things secure.

So how do you make one effort benefit both?

How Evidence Mapping Brings Them Together

The shared structure of ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 means many policies, procedures, and records naturally support multiple compliance objectives across both standards.

Take one of the example Context Analysis Document, a core artifact that outlines internal and external issues, stakeholder expectations and the scope of the management system.

Both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 require this analysis, but they emphasize different perspectives.

Let’s take an example, in our platform, a single Context Analysis Document is mapped to both frameworks, making it easy to see how one piece of evidence aligns with multiple requirements.

So, a single Context Analysis Document can effectively support both ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 when enhanced with the right focus areas.

Our Evidence Mapping feature highlights:

Where overlap occurs

- the same procedure or policy that could satisfy both requirement standards.

Where the focus differs

- ISO 9001:2015 quality and customer-centric intent vs ISO 27001:2022 security and confidentiality intent. ‍

What additional evidence is needed

- to ensure the document is truly complete and audit-ready for both frameworks.

This approach allows organizations to maintain one unified document while tailoring it intelligently for multiple compliance goals.

It’s a smarter, leaner way to manage audits, maximizing the value of what you already have instead of rewriting documents from scratch.

By connecting ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 through smart evidence mapping, we help organizations shift from isolated checklists to a unified system of assurance one that is secure, efficient, and deeply aligned with customer trust.
