ISO 9001 Compliance Gaps We See

Based on our experience with hundreds of organizations, these are the most common gaps that prevent successful ISO 9001 certification and implementation.

Organizations implement partial QMS frameworks that don't cover all required processes. Many focus on production quality while neglecting customer focus and continuous improvement.

Most organizations lack systematic risk assessment methodologies required by ISO 9001:2026. Risk-based thinking is often ad-hoc and doesn't follow the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle.

Many organizations need to update their QMS to include the new 2026 requirements: quality culture and ethics, organizational knowledge management, customer communication for disruptions, enhanced risk management, and planning changes.

ISO 9001 requires comprehensive documentation of policies, procedures, and processes. Many organizations lack proper documentation and record-keeping.

Regular internal audits and management reviews aren't being conducted as required by ISO 9001. Organizations lack proper audit programs and corrective actions.
