Integrating ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 documentation

In regards to implementing ISO 27001 with an existing quality management system, I am looking for information on how to blend the ISMS documentation with existing QA documentation, such as existing procedures, instructions, templates, etc. These types of documents are changed regularly, so there is a concern that this could lead to inconsistencies in the documentation.

Answer: ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 share many similar requirements that allow the use of a single document for both systems (e.g., document control procedure, internal audit etc.). Other required documents defined specifically for each standard, such as security policies and quality plans, can be kept separated without risks to create inconsistencies.

What if the Quality Management System we intend to integrate with isn't ISO certified?

In case the QMS is not certified, you still can use the shared documentation for your ISMS, since during the ISMS certification audit they also will be audited as if they were developed exclusively for the ISMS.
