Where a 2015 system usually falls short of the 2026 edition
Quality culture and ethics
Top management promotes both, and can show how.
Risks and opportunities, evaluated
Each one analyzed and rated. A list is no longer enough.
Planned change
A communication plan, measures of success and a review of results.
Organizational knowledge
Know-how retained and shared, not held by one or two people.
Contingency communication
Customers hear how you’d handle a disruption, including supply.
Audit objectives
Every internal audit has written objectives, not just a checklist.
Management review inputs
Climate, stakeholder needs and whether your actions worked.
Built for the person who owns your quality system
- Quality managers and QMS leads with an ISO 9001:2015 certificate
- Owners and general managers who want a straight answer on readiness

- Teams planning their transition before the certification body asks
Tom Hobbs, HobbSolutions
I’ve spent more than 20 years running operations with P&L responsibility. I implemented ISO 9001 at a company and then ran its internal audits and management reviews for eight years, so I’ve sat on both sides of the audit table.
The GAP Analysis Light is the first thing I use with consulting clients. Now your team can run it on its own.
Before you start
What do I actually receive?
A link to make your own copy of a Google Sheet. Answer each question Yes, 50-50 or No from a dropdown, and the Summary tab shows your readiness by area.
Is it really free?
Yes. You’ll also get occasional emails about the ISO 9001:2026 transition, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Do I need a copy of the standard?
No. Each question is paraphrased in plain English and tagged with its clause. Your licensed copy of the standard remains the reference.
Does a good result mean we’ll pass our audit?
No check can promise that. It’s a readiness estimate that shows where a transition auditor is most likely to raise findings, so you know where to spend your time.
What if we find a lot of gaps?
That’s normal, and it’s the point. The ISO 9001:2026 Transition Blueprint walks your quality lead through closing every one in 12 weeks, and HobbSolutions can lead the work with you if you’d rather not go it alone.
