Two standards, side by side, to decide with good judgement

What each one solves, who requires it, what the audit looks at and whether they should be integrated in one system. The comparison builds on screen; the team confirms the proposal in writing.

When what they ask for is not a certifiable standard

They appear in tenders and supplier approvals alongside ISO standards. It is worth distinguishing what is certified from what guides.

NIST CSF

Voluntary cybersecurity reference framework: it organizes the internal programme into functions (govern, identify, protect, detect, respond and recover), but is not certified under accreditation.

Compared with ISO/IEC 27001The framework helps structure the programme; the standard makes it certifiable and demonstrable externally.

SOC 2

Attestation report on controls, predominant in the United States: the output is an auditor's report on an evaluated period.

Compared with ISO/IEC 27001A solid 27001 ISMS covers much of what SOC 2 evaluates; many organizations maintain both.

IATF 16949

Automotive supply chain quality standard: it incorporates ISO 9001 requirements and adds sector-specific tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA).

Compared with ISO 9001Starting with 9001 sets the base before the leap to automotive.

UNE 19601

Spanish standard focused on managing the criminal risk of legal entities; its recognition is mainly national.

Compared with ISO 37001For groups operating in Spain and abroad, both can coexist depending on jurisdiction and risk.

G-CERTI does not certify these frameworks · they are named to locate what the market asks for

With both on the table, the scope is defined in writing

The request picks up the compared standards. It is sized on scope, sites and headcount, and the feasibility of an integrated audit is assessed technically.
