Conformance1’s ISO 9001 gap analysis checklist tool offers many unique benefits over similar self-assessments, ISO 9001 certification software, or ISO 9001 certification applications:

It’s free. Other thorough self-assessment forms can be an added expense to your pricey compliance package. But all you have to do to gain access to your ISO 9001 assessment tool is register.

It’s thorough. Your Gap Detect analysis tool covers Clauses 4-10 of the revised ISO 9001:2015 standard, including all subclauses. It has an option of over 300 different checkpoints to provide a more detailed assessment of potential registration compliance and target the specific areas that still need addressing before an official ISO 9001 internal audit.

It’s interactive. Not sure about the specifics of some of the language in the new standard? Our tool offers links to relevant articles throughout the checklist to help clarify the expectations. You even have the option to submit a question to a quality expert!

View Real-time scoring. As you answer the line-by-line questions in our gap checklist, you will receive real-time scoring (as a percentage) about how fully your organization complies with specific ISO 9001 sections.

Add notes. You can add notes to each subsection to help guide compliance. For example, the notes feature can be used for information on how the subsections apply to your organization or to list any steps to complete to comply with the section.

Assign sections to others. You can assign specific sections to others and have them notified via email, including notes and messages. This feature helps organizations notify personnel about necessary actions to comply with specific sections and who is responsible for those actions.

Access Detailed reporting. Check your progress either by clause section or in summary with our visual progress report. It provides convenient “progress bars” for a quick look at where your pre-certification readiness stands.

Conformance issue prioritization. Rank the severity and frequency of any needed compliance action so you can prioritize any corrective or preventative actions to get ready for a certification audit.

Assign scores to assess risk. Identify risks based on their impact and likelihood of occurrence, each rated on a scale from 1 to 5, and analyze them for a more targeted and effective compliance strategy.

Ask for help from within the app. You can reach out to one of our internal experts with questions about the certification process including costs, tools, potential audit issues, registrar management and more.
