Standards & Regulatory Frameworks

Zebsoft supports a wide range of standards, regulations, and governance frameworks — without structuring the system around any single one.

Rather than building separate tools for each standard or regulation, Zebsoft provides a shared governance platform that allows organisations to demonstrate compliance once and apply it many times.

This page explains how standards and regulatory requirements are supported within the Zebsoft platform.

Standards and regulations define requirements — not systems.

Zebsoft does not treat standards as products, modules, or silos. Instead, standards are supported through:

• Responsibility-based Domains
• Shared system Capabilities
• Contextual Modules
• Reusable, traceable evidence

This allows organisations to manage multiple standards without duplicating effort or fragmenting control.

In practice, many standards require the same underlying activities:

• Documented information
• Risk management
• Audits and reviews
• Competence and training
• Incident and corrective action management

Zebsoft captures this evidence once and allows it to be mapped and reused across multiple frameworks.

This supports integrated management systems while preserving clarity and accountability.

Zebsoft is commonly used to support standards and frameworks including (but not limited to):

• ISO 9001 – Quality Management
• ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
• ISO 45001 – Health & Safety Management
• ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security
• ISO 22301 – Business Continuity
• Sector-specific and regulatory schemes

Support is delivered through configuration and evidence mapping, not hard-coded templates.

Standards do not sit above Domains — they are supported within them.

For example:

• Information Security standards are supported through the Information Security Domain
• Health & Safety regulations are governed through the Health & Safety Domain
• Environmental obligations are managed through the Environmental & Sustainability Domain

This keeps accountability aligned to real organisational responsibility, not clause numbering.

Capabilities perform the work required by standards.

For example:

• Audits assess compliance
• Risk identifies and prioritises threats
• Document Control governs policies and procedures
• Training demonstrates competence
• Incidents drive improvement

Because Capabilities are shared, the same process can support multiple standards simultaneously.

Zebsoft focuses on evidence generation, not static documentation.

This means:

• Compliance is demonstrated through activity
• Evidence is time-stamped and attributable
• Audit trails are continuous
• Standards are supported without “document theatre”

This approach stands up better under scrutiny and reduces administrative burden.

Zebsoft supports organisations preparing for external audits and certification by:

• Structuring evidence in advance
• Maintaining continuous readiness
• Allowing auditors to review evidence efficiently

Certification itself is independent of the system and may be delivered by accredited third parties where required.

To explore how standards are supported in practice:

• Domains — responsibility-based governance
• Capabilities — the work that generates evidence
• Use Cases — real-world application scenarios
