Integrated Management System (IMS)
More efficiency and security for your company
An integrated management system (IMS) combines different management disciplines – such as information security (ISMS), data protection, quality management or occupational health and safety – in a common structure. This makes working in accordance with different norms and standards (e.g. ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, GDPR) not only clearer, but also methodical and user-friendly. Companies and organizations benefit from clear processes, cost-efficient use of resources and increased transparency across all business areas.
Overview: What does an IMS do?
- Central platform: All relevant norms and standards (e.g. ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, GDPR) are mapped in one system.
- More transparency: Processes, resources and organizational structures can be clearly displayed and are easy to control.
- Cost and time savings: An IMS reduces duplication of effort and simplifies audits and certifications.
- Continuous improvement: Thanks to a uniform methodology and regular reports, optimizations can be better identified and implemented.
Why an integrated management system?
Utilizing synergy effects
Bundling several management systems in one central tool avoids isolated solutions and duplication of effort. Synergy effects are created through shared data storage as well as coordinated workflows in the areas of risk, compliance and data protection.
Clear structures and processes
An IMS enables consistent, standardized documentation of all relevant processes. This facilitates audits, certifications and the continuous improvement of your processes (CIP).
Efficient multi-standard compliance
Regardless of whether you only have to follow one standard or implement several guidelines: An integrated management system provides an overview of all requirements and makes it easier to provide evidence to auditors, customers and business partners.
Risk reduction and liability minimization
Centralized risk management enables potential risks (e.g. cyber threats) to be identified and addressed at an early stage. This allows you to reduce liability risks in a targeted manner and ensure the protection of your company’s assets.
Sustainable cost and time savings
An IMS reduces administrative work because processes are controlled centrally and data only needs to be recorded once. This saves time, reduces costs and supports optimal resource planning.
