6. Access new markets

How ISO 9001 benefit to school or academy

Traditionally, ISO 9001 brings great benefits to an organization and its customers. But, what about school or academy?

In fact, ISO 9001 can help the school, students and their future employers reap the ultimate benefits.

ISO 9001 creates a workforce development system that is accountable, cost-effective, and addresses continual improvement. It also creates a quality mindset among the students. When these students go into the work place, they already understand the importance of quality standards, which provides a significant advantage to their employers and perpetuates the quality process.

There are several state and federal mandates that oversee performance accountability and recognize the need for continuous improvement in education. ISO 9001 addresses accountability and continuous improvement. It also provides the structure to create a quality policy and quality objectives.

Schools which have completed registration to ISO 9001 have found numerous benefits. They have realized increased community awareness and appreciation of the education they are providing. Local employers have applauded their efforts and have taken a greater interest in the development of programs with the schools and, most importantly, a greater interest in their students.

In addition, the schools also noted increased operational efficiency, open lines of communication, empowerment of staff members to recommend and implement change, better documentation of methods and responsibilities, and consistency of process, and enhanced communication among their employees.

ISO 27001 Information Security Management System

ISO 27001 provides a model for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). 

The adoption of an ISMS should be a strategic decision for an organisation.

The design and implementation of an organisation’s ISMS is influenced by their needs and objectives, security requirements, the processes employed and the size and structure of the organization. These and their supporting systems are expected to change over time. It is expected that an ISMS implementation will be scaled in accordance with the needs of the organization, e.g. a simple situation requires a simple ISMS solution.

ISO 27001 covers all types of organizations (e.g. commercial enterprises, government agencies, non-profit organisations). And specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving documented ISMS within the context of an organisation’s overall business risks. It specifies requirements for the implementation of security controls customized to the needs of individual organisations or parts thereof. The ISMS is designed to ensure the selection of adequate and proportionate security controls that protect information assets and give confidence to interested parties.
