ISO 56001 is an international standard for innovation management systems. It helps organizations establish processes for directing, supporting, evaluating, and improving innovation work, including changes to products, services, processes, or business models. A Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle can support this ongoing review and adjustment.
ISO 56001 is not a cybersecurity control or a substitute for technical safeguards. It can matter to cyber security when organizations use structured innovation governance to assess new risks, document decisions, and review changes that affect systems, suppliers, or operations. In practice, teams can apply repeatable planning and review to adaptation initiatives rather than making untracked changes under pressure.
