Integrated Management System
One system. Multiple standards. One audit.
Most companies introduce their standards one after another — and then maintain two documentation systems, two audit programs and two calendars. With us, one system emerges that supports all standards, lives in the platform and stays up to date with our AI. Even after the audit.
- One documentation, one internal audit program, one management review
- One combined certification audit instead of two separate ones
- The system stays up to date in the platform afterwards — not in the folder
- Each additional standard €149 instead of €179 per month

Combined audits genuinely save audit days according to recognized rules
The problem
Two standards, double the work — even though half the requirements are the same
Since the introduction of the common basic structure (Harmonized Structure), ISO 9001, 14001, 27001 and 42001 have been organized identically. Context of the organization, leadership, planning, support, operation, evaluation, improvement - this appears in every one of these standards, in the same order, with largely the same content.
Anyone who implements them separately writes these chapters twice. Runs two internal audit programs. Holds two management reviews. And gets audited twice. The added value of this duplication is zero.
Chapters are structurally almost identical across all four standards
Document control, competence management and corrective actions only occur once
Internal audits can be combined into a single program
Combined certification audits genuinely save audit days according to recognized rules
The solution
This is what an integrated system looks like with us
Six building blocks turn several standards into one system. Choose one to see what's behind it.
Common chapters written once, standard-specific parts added as a supplement - each requirement remains individually verifiable.
You write the common chapters - context, leadership, planning, support, evaluation, improvement - once. Whatever a standard additionally requires is added as a supplement and remains individually verifiable. During the audit, the auditor sees the appropriate evidence for each requirement, without you having to maintain a second manual.
The system afterward
The certificate is the beginning, not the end
The certificate
Valid for three years. For it to hold up in everyday operations, four building blocks continue working behind it.
The certification body
Checks all standards in one combined audit, decides independently, monitors annually.
The software
One set of documents with a standard reference to every requirement — across all standards, versioned, with deadlines and responsibilities.
The AI
Structures processes, reports and evidence with you, recognizes which requirement is already met, and tracks via the IMS Radar what has changed since the last audit.
The partner network
Independent consulting for setup and follow-up support — in multiple countries and languages.
We don't advise you and then audit you. Platform and AI are tools in your hands; you are responsible for the content. Where you need real consulting, we refer you to independent partners. That is the condition for our audit judgment to be worth anything.
IMS Radar
The most important things happen between two audits
IMS Radar — Overview. Representation from the prototype; values are sample data.
- Every document gets its standard reference upon uploadProcedure instruction, evidence, contract — with mapping to the standard chapter and a visible confidence score.
- Audit readiness as a metricA traffic-light value per standard, with trend. The trend matters more than the absolute value: it rewards upkeep.
- Changes in the company become questionsNew location, new software, role change, new supplier — the radar asks, instead of waiting for the auditor to ask.
- Quarterly context checkThree to five short questions, by text or voice, in under three minutes.
- Audit preparation report at the push of a buttonAll changes since the last audit, organized by standard chapter.
- Reportable items are flagged as reportableThe radar reminds you of a scope change before it turns into a nonconformity.
The IMS Radar asks questions and provides guidance. It does not formulate standard chapters and does not write your documents. Every note is confirmed by you, never adopted automatically. IMS Radar includes usage-based, chargeable additional services.
Three separate systems or one integrated one: what's the difference?
Three separate systems
- DocumentationThree manuals, three archives, three version states
- Internal auditsThree programs, three audit plans
- Management reviewThree times a year, three times the same data basis
- Certification auditThree appointments, three preparations
- CostsFull costs per standard
- In case of standard changesTrack each standard separately
One integrated system
- DocumentationOne set, supplemented by standard
- Internal auditsOne program
- Management reviewOnce, completely
- Certification auditOne combined appointment
- CostsEach additional standard €149 instead of €179, plus reduced audit days
- In case of standard changesAdjust once, effective everywhere
Which standards fit together?
Five combinations that prove their worth in practice
Open a combination to see who it suits and what it delivers in concrete terms.
Both standards look at the same processes — once from the customer's perspective, once from the environmental perspective. Anyone who has already described the workflows mainly adds environmental aspects and legal obligations for ISO 14001.
- Environmental aspects dock directly onto the existing process landscape instead of forcing a second system.
- One audit program, one combined certification audit, two certificates.
- The classic entry into the IMS — often required jointly for public contracts as well.
Put together your system
Choose the standards that fit your business. The price is calculated live — including the bundle price from the second standard onward.
328 €/ month
30 € im Monat weniger als bei einzelnen Zertifizierungen
- The first standard costs €179 per month. Each additional standard is €149 instead of €179.
- Several individual systems become one shared management system. You no longer need separate documents, separate internal audits and separate appointments for each standard. You still receive one certificate per standard.

How an integrated system is built
Shared foundation first
Context, interested parties, leadership, objectives, document control — written once, valid for all standards.
2 to 4 weeks, for a new build without existing documentationWritten once, valid for all standards
Standard-specific additions
Environmental aspects, Annex A measures, AI system inventory — depending on the standards chosen.
4 to 10 weeks, depending on the number and type of standards chosenOnly the parts that don't overlap
One internal audit program
One plan that covers all standards, plus one shared management review.
2 to 3 weeks, once responsibilities have been clarifiedOne annual plan, one management review
Combined certification audit
Stage 1 and Stage 2 for all standards in a single pass, with one audit team.
2 to 5 days, depending on size, locations and standard combinationOne appointment, one audit team, multiple certificates
These timeframes apply to building a new system across multiple standards. They are not the same as the three tempos in the next section: there, it's about the certification process starting from where your system currently stands. Those already certified or switching from another certification body skip steps 1 and 2.
Even an integrated system doesn't have to take six months
If your systems are already running — for example when switching from another certification body — an express audit is also possible for an IMS. We don't examine more superficially or briefly than others. Above all, we save waiting time.
48 hours
Express
Switching certification bodies or a very tight deadline
- What happens: Combined audit, decision, and one certificate per standard.
- Your system already runs across all selected standards. Your documentation is complete. An internal audit and a management review have been carried out for all standards.
2–4 weeks
Standard
Companies that already have one standard and want to add more
- What happens: Your documentation is organized with AI and mapped to the standard chapters. This is followed by the combined audit.
- Your processes already work, but documentation is missing or not yet complete for all selected standards.
2–8 weeks
Guided
Initial certification without preparation
- What happens: You build your system with an independent partner. This is followed by the combined audit.
- So far you have prepared only a few rules, procedures or documents. For a full rebuild across several standards, the build times from the section above also apply.
In all three variants, we audit according to the same rules. The time required increases compared to a single standard but stays well below the sum of separate audits.
Do you already have a certificate?
Existing systems can be integrated — even from other bodies
If you are already certified to one standard, we don't build from scratch. We take over your existing documentation, check it against the shared chapters and add what the second standard additionally requires. This also applies if the existing certificate comes from another body — switching at the end of the cycle is the usual way.
Frequently asked questions
Several: one for each standard, individually verifiable in the register. It is the system that is integrated, not the certificate.
No. You can add more later; the shared basis will already be in place. However, starting at the same time is cheaper and faster.
No. Every standard requirement is examined. Only what is identical across several standards and doesn't need to be checked twice is saved.
Usually less. Instead of three officers each with their own system, there is one system responsibility with technical input.
The first standard costs €179 per month, each additional one €149 instead of €179. For annual payment, we calculate 11 months: €1,969 for one standard, €3,608 for two, €5,247 for three.
With AI support, typically 2 to 8 weeks for two to three standards, if your processes already work in everyday operations. If your systems are already fully running, an express audit in 48 hours is also possible.
A module of your management system that covers the time between two audits: it records document, process and role changes, asks brief contextual questions quarterly, and generates hints with standard references from them. Confirmation is always done by you, never automatically.
