Scope, objectives of the ISMS :

It generally specifies the nature, scope and the purpose of the organisation which runs under the extent of the ISMS. Also which contains the information policies such as the goals and the potential commitments and the necessary protocols. It contains all the necessary information. The objective of the company should be clearly mentioned which all outlined in the stands of ISMS.

The mandatory clauses form clause 4 to clause 10 which are very important, for the requirements of the ISO certifications. Those are,

Clause 4 : Context of the organisation

The scope which represents the context for the draft of ISO 27001 with the compliances. They include the information on the risk of the identified and measured implementations to the unauthorised access to the information. Also the auditors should use their scope for security.

Other Specific informations :

The necessary requirements with the specific information are attached such as the logos of the activities, exceptions and procedural clauses. All the requirements should be corrected by the auditors in the auditing program.

STEPS PRIOR TO CERTIFICATION OF ISO 27001 :

It requires the organisation to follow the certain necessary steps before they go for the process of certification. The certification of the company was mainly organised by the ISO certification body. The company should be required to maintain certain things in the company for approval.

  • The organisation should perform the internal auditings.
  • Shall perform the management and reviews.
  • The organisation clearly writes all the necessary documentation and implementation security process and the controls.
  • Should resolve all the nonconformities in the organisations.

There are three important stages for the certification of the ISO 27001,

  • By Document reviewing.
  • Maintaining clear main audits
  • Surveillance audits.

Step 1 : By Document reviewing

The auditor shall look at all the mandatory clauses which are mentioned in the requirements of ISO 27001. In this you will also provide some other certificates which mentioned in the annex A. also need to provide at least one internal audit management review by the organisation. If any documents and essential elements are missing in this document reviewing process, it does not qualify for the next upcoming steps.

Step 2 : Maintaining clear main audits

Mostly the second step will start after the few weeks of the stage 1 after completion. The auditor should check the provided ISMS for the company or the organisation. And observing the interviewing of the employee and checking the records. Make sure all the policies are provided for the auditings. If there are no non conformities, the certificate body directly issues the certificate. But in some cases we will resolve the non conformity within 90 days. We need to provide the corrective statement to the auditors otherwise he could not pass the certification process. Once we clear the queries after being accepted by the auditor it will furtherly move to the next step.

STEP 3 : Surveillance audit

The surveillance audit is very similar to the audings. It is a yearly audition in which a certificate was issued by the certificating body which will valid for only three years and it should be maintained properly by surveillance audits. If the certification is not approved by the auditor for the company for the issuance the recertification of the audit has been initiated for the certification. These are the three important steps involved in the process of certification of the ISO 27001.

AUDITORS ROLE IN THE CERTIFICATION OF ISO 27001 :

  • Mandatory documents : The auditor should check all the documents which include the statement of Applicability SOA and other important documents which include plan, implementation documents etc.
  • Evidence : The company should submit the necessary evidence or the proof of the auditing for the information security policies with the annual reports. 
  • Interview : It is one of the important things that the auditors should conduct the interview from the access control policy and with the confidentiality clauses.

CERTIFICATION COSTS :

The cost for the ISO certificate is not fixed, but it is based on the audits. If the smaller company has very less auditing process while comparing to the large company the cost of the auditing should be vary. It is mostly based on

  • Size of the company.
  • Certification of the auditor

Before the certification we need to pay for the implementation of ISO certification. After the certification the certification body with the surveillance audit should maintain ISMS of the yearly audits properly. The improvements and the corrections are rectified in its due date by the company.
