ISO Standards
What Are the Different Types of ISO Standards?
Standardization within a business is common practice. Standards are a highly

distilled best practice, established by experts who know the needs of the field
they represent. The standards themselves can be about creating a product,
managing a process, or delivering a service.
The development of industry standards has long been, well, a standard practice;
so that individual organizations can align themselves to external norms, while
customers and suppliers can also understand the organization’s processes.
While several recognized external bodies create standardized systems, the most
frequently adopted standards come from the ISO.

What Is the Full Name of ISO?
ISO stands for International Organization of Standardization. The ISO is an international body
responsible for creating, setting, and promoting standards. To date it has published more than
22,600 standards and related documents that apply to all kinds of industries, such as
manufacturing, healthcare, and accounting.
ISO standards are a collection of best practices that promote product compatibility, sharing of
solutions and know-how, and identification of safety issues. The standards present an approach
that has been agreed on by international experts.
Businesses use ISO certification to provide potential customers with proof of compliance and
win their trust. Before that, however, you’ll have to purchase and achieve the certification. ISO
certification costs differ based on many factors, such as your organization size, industry sector,
annual revenue, number of employees, and so on.

What Are the Relevant ISO Standards for GRC?
Various ISO standards and other industry-standard practices address governance risk and
compliance (GRC) management systems for the information technology domain.
A few ISO standards that can offer guidance and advice for GRC include:
ISO 20000 (Service Management)

ISO 22301 (Business Continuity)
ISO 27001 (Information Security)
ISO 27005 (Information Risk Management)
ISO 31000 (Risk Management)
ISO 38500 (Corporate Governance of Information Technology)

Companies can use a hybrid management system,
where they combine the concepts of multiple
standards and frameworks (and implement other best
practices as well), to create an effective solution that
meets the requirements of organizational stakeholders.

What Types of ISO Standards Exist?
As mentioned, there are roughly 22,000 ISO standards to date, covering various
industries. But out of these, the three main types of ISO are:
ISO 9001:2015, a standard for general organizational quality management systems

(QMS), including vendor management. ISO comprises QMS standards for specific
industries, too.
ISO 27001:2013, a standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
ISO 14001:2015, a standard for Environmental Management Systems

Different Kinds of ISO Standards
You can segregate each ISO standard based on the following categories:
ISO 9000 – Quality Management
ISO 9000 is internationally viewed as the best practice for quality management.
It outlines the criteria for a quality management system to help businesses improve quality and customer relations. The standard is a set of tools
and practices that businesses can use to identify areas of improvement.
ISO 22000 – Food Safety Management
ISO 2200 addresses what an organization should do to assure food is safe for public consumption. This type of ISO standard contains guidelines
that are applicable for all businesses with food safety concerns, regardless of their size.
ISO/IEC 27000 – Information Security Management Systems
ISO/IEC 27000 lays out standards that businesses can use to safeguard their information assets. Companies that manage personal data, finances,
intellectual property, or sensitive customer data can use these standards to make sure their information is protected at all times.
ISO 31000 – Risk Management

Every business decision involves some risk. ISO 31000 provides companies with a framework for managing these risks by applying best practices for
identifying risks and handling consequences.

What Are the Most Useful ISO Standards?
In this section, we’ll discuss eight of the most popular types of ISO standards in detail. Let’s take
a look.
 ISO 9001. This is one of the most popular ISO standards for creating, implementing, and
maintaining a Quality Management System (QMS) for any given company, regardless of its
industry, capital, or size.
 ISO 14001. This ISO standard provides guidelines on what has to be done to implement an
environmental management system (EMS). It includes policies, processes, plans, records, and
best practices that define rules regarding how your company interacts with the environment.
 ISO 14001 requirements give you a framework, along with guidelines, for creating EMS for
any organization.

 ISO 27001. This ISO standard is for information security. Organizations that meet these
requirements can be certified by an accredited certification body after they’ve been audited
successfully.
 ISO 22000. This standard details requirements for a food safety management system
(FSMS). Following this standard allows an organization that’s involved (either directly or
directly) in the food services industry to be assured that it is following best practices for
safety and hygiene.
 ISO 50001. ISO 50001 is a voluntary standard that gives organizations a framework to
manage and improve their energy performance. It addresses measurement, documentation,
and reporting of energy use and consumption. Additionally, ISO 50001 includes design and
procurement best practices for energy-using equipment and other factors affecting energy
performance that organizations can monitor and influence.

 ISO 31000. This is a risk management standard that contains principles to
manage risks safely. Implementing ISO 31000 facilitates safe business operations
and helps organizations to achieve objectives, identify opportunities and threats,
and allocate resources for risk treatment.
 ISO 26000. A relatively new standard, ISO 26000 focuses on social responsibility.
It provides businesses direction on how they can work in a socially capable
manner by explaining their social duty. It also helps associations set up an
effective system to do activities identified with corporate social responsibility
goals.
 ISO 20121. This ISO standard began in 2012 and covers event sustainability. It’s
an international standard that establishes all requirements to help businesses and
individuals improve the sustainability of their event-related activities.

What Is the Difference Between ISO and ISO Standards?
The ISO is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. It’s a non-governmental

organization that consists of standards bodies from more than 160 countries, with each
standard body representing one member country.
ISO standards are internationally agreed-upon formulas that describe the best way of doing a
specific activity. They are the main products of ISO.

What Are the General ISO Standards?
General ISO standards are the most common ISO standards. Here’s a rundown of each general
ISO standard:
 Quality management standards that help organizations work more efficiently and reduce
product failures.
 Energy management standards that cut down and optimize energy consumption.
 Environmental management standards that reduce environmental impact, reduce waste, and
make processes more sustainable.
 Health and safety standards to reduce workplace-related accidents.
 Food safety standards that protect food from contamination.
 IT security standards to keep sensitive information secure and away from unauthorized eyes.

ISO 9001:2015
Requirements for a Quality Management
System
ISO 9001 states the requirements for your Quality Management System
(QMS). There are 10 sections (clauses) in ISO 9001, with additional subclauses
related to the Plan-Do-Check-Act system. However, only sections 4-10
contain requirements that are auditable. To successfully implement ISO
9001:2015 within your organization, you must satisfy the requirements within
clauses 4-10 along with meeting customer and applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements.
