Combined ISO Audits
Many organizations operate multiple ISO management systems, such as ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), ISO 45001 (health and safety), or ISO 22301 (business continuity).
A combined audit allows these standards to be evaluated within a single, integrated audit process.
Integrated Management System Audit Services
Fortalis can provide combined ISO audit services to help organizations assess how their management systems work together while reducing audit duplication and improving efficiency.
What is a Combined ISO Audit?
A combined audit evaluates multiple ISO standards during the same audit engagement.
Rather than auditing each management system separately, the audit examines how the different systems interact and support overall organizational performance.
Combined audits are commonly used for organizations implementing integrated management systems (IMS).
Typical combinations include:
- ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
- ISO 9001 and ISO 45001
- ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001
- Integration with ISO 22301 or other management standards
Benefits of Combined ISO Audits
A combined audit offers several advantages for organizations operating multiple management systems.
Key benefits include:
- reduced audit time and disruption
- lower overall audit costs
- improved efficiency and coordination
- better alignment between management systems
- clearer view of organizational risks and controls
Combined audits also help organizations simplify governance and improve the integration of quality, environmental, safety, and continuity practices. Fortalis brings experience across multiple ISO standards and operational risk management disciplines.
