ISO 27001 certification consultant has the following skills:
ISO 27001 checklist creation is a challenging but interesting task that includes on one hand, understanding of iso 27001 requirements, and on the other an organization’s business, strategic information risks, and their information assets.
ISO 27001 has control requirement covering several domains that includes the following domains.
Phase A – ISO 27001 requirement checklist
The journey starts with getting a copy of the iso 27001 controls, and using the same to create a meta template in which against each requirement one should prepare the iso 27001 questions using one or more of the followings:
Phase B – Business requirement checklist
In the organization context, each business is somewhat unique, so the next step is to gather enough information about the organizations, such as:
With this, one has created the organization context necessary to apply the questions from the phase A.
ISO 27001 checklist is incomplete with just the standard questions, there is always a need to prepare the question in the context of the organization for which this is applied.
A complete iso 27001 checklist strategy therefore needs to have both the iso 27001 control checklist as well as organizational checklist.
ISO 27001 certification audit is valid for three years subject to fulfilment of the standard requirements by the organization.
ISO 27001 certificate is issued by the certification bodies.
In the first year they perform two stages of the audit, namely stage 1, and stage 2.
Stage 1 audit is the documentation audit, where they look for documentation alignment with the applicable requirements as per the organizations Statement of Applicability (SOA).
Stage 1 questions are centred around company policies and procedures and demonstrate an organizations’ ‘intent’.
Stage 2 assessment aims at verifying the ‘implementation and effectiveness’. This phase is much more comprehensive where the iso 27001 certification body auditor looks for evidence of implementations across all domains and controls that are applicable to the organization.
Stage 2 focuses on the technical side of the implementations that includes the followings:
Upon assured of the ‘intent, implementation and effectiveness’ the iso 27001 certificate is issued by the certification body to the organization.
"The scope statement is an important statement for any organizations iso 27001 certification as it reflects the business and supporting functions that support the information security management system (ISMS).
A scope statement generally has the following 4 parts:
Part 1: About the business, the sentence looks like:
information security management system (ISMS) applies to the delivery of [Software as a service (SAAS)] OR [business process outsourcing].
Part 2 – Industries that you serve, the sentence may look like:
The services cater to the healthcare industry.
Part 3 – Internal teams or functions:
ISMS is supported by internal teams such as Product Management, Application Development, Cloud Operations, DevOps, IT Operations, Human Resource, Legal, Procurement, physical security and business development.
Here you write functions as per the organization structure, all teams that participated.
Part 4 – Reference to Statement of Applicability (SOA)
This is as per Statement of Applicability (SOA) version 1.0
Note that the SOA is where all the applicable and not applicable controls are listed.
SOA is a document created by the organization to demonstrate its alignment with the standard list of annexure controls.
Cloud security is a shared responsibility. Each cloud service provider, be it SAAS, PAAS or IAAS, provides shared responsibility controls to its customers.
In our ISO 27001 Consulting Services, we assist clients in determining the applicable shared controls and assist them through the process of gap analysis, and implementation support.
