About ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Certification

 

Aimed at keeping information assets secure, ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Certification gives a competitive advantage for small, medium, and large businesses in any sector. Therefore, it provides customers and stakeholders with confidence in how you manage risk.

It’s interesting to add that, similar to other ISO management system standards; ISO/IEC 27001 certification is not in any case obligatory. But, nowadays, it has become the most widespread globally type of ISO. As a result, any reputable online service or product wants to have it to prove its customers severe intentions to the way it runs the business.

 

The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Certification Process

 

There are two stages in the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification process: internal and external.

  • The internal preparatory stage is all about establishing an on-site Information Security Management process; implementing data security best practices, and developing security documentation needed according to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standards.
  • Meanwhile, the external certification stage is a comprehensive process that features documentation reviews regarding all ISO criteria; along with a detailed three-day on-site audit made by UKAS. UKAS is the UK’s National Accreditation Body, responsible for determining, in the public interest, the technical competence and integrity of organisations such as those offering testing, calibration, and certification services.
