# ISO 9001

> Implement a Quality Management System (QMS) to demonstrate consistent product and service quality.

ISO 9001 is the international standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). It provides a framework for organizations to ensure they consistently meet customer requirements and enhance customer satisfaction through effective quality processes.

## Who needs ISO 9001?

Any organization that wants to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. ISO 9001 is widely adopted across manufacturing, healthcare, technology, and professional services.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How does ISO 9001 relate to ISO 27001?" icon="diagram-project">
    Both use the same management system structure (Annex SL). If you already have ISO 27001, you have a strong foundation for ISO 9001 — the management system requirements overlap significantly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is certification required?" icon="certificate">
    No, but many industries and customers expect it. Certification demonstrates commitment to quality and can be a competitive advantage.

## How DSALTA automates this

**97** of DSALTA's automated checks contribute evidence to this framework, drawn from **13** integrations. Browse them in the [Compliance Tests](/tests/overview) catalog. They are linked through the controls each check satisfies, so a single check usually contributes to several frameworks at once — the count is not a list of checks unique to this one.
