How ISODraft Works: AI-Powered ISO Document Audit
ISODraft is an AI-powered platform built specifically for ISO management system documentation, offering two core modules. The document module supplies ready-made, sector-specific ISO document packages. The audit module reads uploaded management system documents — manuals, procedures, policies, work instructions — and evaluates them against the clauses of the chosen ISO standard, returning a detailed nonconformity report in minutes rather than the days or weeks required for traditional consultant review. ISODraft currently supports seven standards: ISO 9001:2015 (quality), ISO 14001:2015 (environment), ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety), ISO 22000:2018 (food safety), ISO 27001:2022 (information security), ISO 14064 (greenhouse gas accounting) and ISO 14067 (carbon footprint of products). Pricing uses a transparent character-based credit system, with the cost shown before each audit. Reports categorise findings as major nonconformities, minor nonconformities and observations, each referencing the specific clause. The output is a dress rehearsal, not a substitute for certification by an accredited body.
Preparing for an ISO certification audit traditionally means weeks of manual document review, expensive consultant fees and the nagging worry that something was missed. ISODraft changes this equation entirely. Our AI ISO audit platform analyses your management system documents against ISO standard requirements and delivers a detailed nonconformity report in minutes — not weeks.
In this post, we explain exactly how ISODraft works, what you can expect from the audit module, and why organisations worldwide are using AI-powered analysis to prepare for their certification audits.
What ISODraft Does
ISODraft is an AI-powered platform designed specifically for ISO management system documentation. The platform offers two core modules: a document module that provides ready-made, sector-specific ISO document packages, and an audit module that analyses your existing documents against the requirements of your chosen ISO standard.
The audit module is where the AI ISO audit capability lives. It takes your management system documents — quality manuals, procedures, policies, work instructions — and systematically evaluates them against the clauses of the relevant ISO standard. The output is a structured audit report that identifies nonconformities, categorises them by severity and provides actionable recommendations for improvement.
How the Audit Module Works: Step by Step
Step 1: Upload your document. Start by uploading the management system document you want audited. The platform accepts common document formats, making it easy to work with the files you already have. There is no need to reformat or restructure anything — simply upload the document as-is.
Step 2: Select your ISO standard. Choose the ISO standard you want your document audited against. ISODraft currently supports ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), ISO 22000 (Food Safety), ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 14064 (Greenhouse Gas Accounting) and ISO 14067 (Carbon Footprint of Products). Select the standard that matches your certification scope.
Step 3: AI analyses your document. This is where the technology does the heavy lifting. ISODraft's AI engine reads your document, maps its content against the specific clauses and requirements of the selected ISO standard, and identifies gaps, inconsistencies and areas of concern. The analysis considers not just whether a topic is mentioned but whether the documented approach genuinely satisfies the standard's intent.
Step 4: Receive your detailed report. Within minutes, you receive a comprehensive audit report. The report categorises findings into three levels: major nonconformities (significant gaps where a requirement is not addressed or fundamentally fails to meet the standard), minor nonconformities (partial gaps where improvements are needed), and observations (opportunities for improvement that are not strict nonconformities but would strengthen your system). Each finding references the specific clause, explains the issue and suggests a corrective approach.
The Credit System
ISODraft uses a character-based credit system. Each audit consumes credits based on the length of your document — specifically, the number of characters in the uploaded file. This means you pay proportionally to the amount of content being analysed. Credit packages are available in various sizes to suit different needs, from a single document check to ongoing audit programmes covering your entire documentation suite.
The credit system is designed to be transparent and predictable. Before you run an audit, the platform shows you exactly how many credits it will consume, so there are no surprises.
Supported Standards
ISODraft's AI audit engine currently supports seven major ISO standards: ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management systems, ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety, ISO 22000:2018 for food safety management systems, ISO 27001:2022 for information security management systems, ISO 14064 for greenhouse gas accounting and verification, and ISO 14067 for carbon footprint of products.
This range covers the most widely adopted management system standards globally. Additional standards are being added based on user demand and market needs.
Advantages Over Traditional Consulting
Speed: minutes, not weeks. A traditional document review by an ISO consultant can take days or weeks, depending on scope and availability. ISODraft delivers results in minutes. This speed is invaluable when you are working against a certification deadline or need to iterate quickly on document revisions.
Cost: a fraction of consulting fees. ISO consultants typically charge hundreds of dollars per day. A full documentation review can run into thousands. ISODraft's credit-based pricing makes professional-grade document analysis accessible at a fraction of the cost, particularly for small and medium-sized organisations.
Availability: 24/7 access. Consultants have schedules, holidays and other clients. ISODraft is available whenever you need it — evenings, weekends, holidays. Upload a document at midnight and have your report before morning.
Consistency: reliable analysis quality. Human reviewers vary in experience, focus and thoroughness. ISODraft's AI engine applies the same rigorous analysis to every document, every time. It does not get tired, does not skip clauses and does not have off days.
Ease of use: no expertise required. You do not need to be an ISO expert to use ISODraft. The platform handles the technical analysis and presents findings in clear, actionable language that anyone can understand and act on.
Who Is ISODraft For?
Companies preparing for certification audits. If you are working toward ISO certification, ISODraft helps you identify and fix documentation gaps before the external auditor arrives. Think of it as a dress rehearsal for your certification audit — one that catches problems early when they are easy and inexpensive to fix.
ISO consultants. Consultants use ISODraft to accelerate their document review process, freeing up time for higher-value advisory work. Instead of spending hours reading through manuals, they can focus on strategic guidance and implementation support.
Quality managers conducting gap analysis. Quality, environmental and safety managers responsible for maintaining management systems use ISODraft for regular document health checks. Running periodic AI audits on your documentation helps you maintain compliance between external surveillance audits and catch drift before it becomes a nonconformity.
