ISO 9001 GAP ANALYSIS · 8 QUESTIONS · ~5 MINUTES

See how close you are to ISO 9001 in eight questions.

ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management, and the standard tenders ask for most often. Eight questions here, mapped to the standard's own clauses, show you exactly where the gap between how you already work and a certifiable system sits.

ISO 9001 gap analysis

How close is your quality management system?

Tick what you already have — we'll estimate how far you are from a certifiable ISO 9001 system.

WHAT THE GAP ANALYSIS LOOKS AT

Eight questions, mapped to the clauses a certification body uses.

Each answer maps to a clause of ISO 9001:2015, so the report speaks the same language as the auditor. Answer what you know. A "no" is just a gap to close, not a failure.

Context and leadership

Whether you understand your business context and interested parties, and top management owns a documented quality policy. Clauses 4 and 5.

Risks, opportunities and objectives

How you identify risks and opportunities to the management system and set measurable quality objectives. Clause 6.

Documented information

Whether your procedures and records are controlled, current and easy to find. Clause 7.

Customers and suppliers

How customer requirements are captured and met, and how suppliers and subcontractors are controlled. Clause 8.

Nonconformity, audit and review

How nonconformities trigger corrective action, and whether internal audit and management review run on schedule. Clauses 9 and 10.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

What is an ISO 9001 gap analysis?
It's an assessment of your current quality management against the requirements of ISO 9001, the international standard. It shows which clauses you already meet and where the gaps are, so you know what to build before you go for certification. This tool gives you that in eight questions.
How accurate is an 8-question gap analysis?
It gives you a reliable high-level read on where you stand against each major clause. A full pre-certification gap analysis goes deeper and is something your consultant would run with you, but this tool tells you quickly whether you're close, halfway, or near the start.
Why is ISO 9001 the standard to start with?
It's the one tenders and approved-supplier lists ask for most often, across nearly every sector, and it shares a common structure with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Most of the framework you build for 9001 carries across if you add another standard later.
What happens after the gap report?
You'll see the route to certification laid out. If you want help walking it, we run the full journey from gap analysis through implementation to certification and surveillance prep, with a named consultant throughout.
Why trust the analysis?
The questions are built on the standard itself and the route our ISO consultants take clients through. Gary Allen (Grad IOSH), who leads our ISO work, runs the full seven-phase journey, gap analysis to certification to surveillance prep. We're Qualitas IMS accredited across ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.
Are my details safe?
Your email is used to send the report and occasional ISO updates you can opt out of any time. We never sell your data. See the privacy policy for the detail.
