Even in the context of occupational health and safety it is necessary to strive for improvement in all areas of the company.
A major advantage of BS OHSAS 18001 exists for companies which have already implemented a quality management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001. Both regulations can be perfectly combined to an integrated management system, because they follow a similar structure. Thus, already introduced documentation, analysis and information processes, for example, can be both used for a catalogue of requirements, in terms of an integrated management system. Finally, expenditure of time and costs can be significantly reduced through a combination of a certification of quality and occupational health and safety management systems from one source through VdS.
The logical consequence as the next version of the VdS-Cyber-Services-Quick-Check, Quick-Audit and Certification Audit in accordance with VdS 3473 is the establishment of an information security management system. ISO 27001 is the world-wide recognised requirement for the development of such a management system.
Especially medium-sized companies are often targeted by cyber criminals. A major reason for that is the conventional security standards, which often overwhelm medium-sized companies. With the release of the guidelines "VdS-Certified-Cyber-Security" (VdS 3473) and the associated new services, VdS offers to all SMEs the opportunity to close this security gap organisationally and financially, and by investing only about 20% of the expense in comparison to the series ISO 27001.
