Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what ISO 56002 overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

The Compliance Position Diagnostic, $5,000 fixed, ten business days

What is ISO 56002 and who does it apply to?

ISO 56002 is a compliance framework from International (ISO/TC 279); adopted as EN ISO 56002:2021, AS ISO 56002:2020, I.S. EN ISO 56002:2021 and others with 7 domains and 52 controls. The ISO guidance standard for an innovation management system on the Annex SL structure: context, leadership with vision, strategy and policy, planning with objectives, structures and portfolios, support from people and time to strategic intelligence and intellectual property, operation through initiatives and the five innovation processes, performance evaluation and improvement. Built from the complete copy; guidance, not certifiable, with ISO 56001:2024 as the requirements counterpart. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does ISO 56002 actually require?

ISO 56002 has 52 controls organised across 7 domains. The largest domains are Clause 7 Support – ISO 56002 (15 controls), Clause 4 Context of the organization – ISO 56002 (8 controls), Clause 8 Operation – ISO 56002 (8 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of ISO 56002 do I already cover?

ISO 56002 maps to 154 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ISO 22301:2019 (24% coverage), ISO 27701:2019 (21% coverage), ISO 22000:2018 (17% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.

How do I implement ISO 56002?
