Overview

Information security is an extremely important requirement for every business, regardless of size.

ISO 27001:2013 certification has strict requirements, so achieving it requires time and effort from organizations.

So what is the process to achieve ISO 27001:2013 certification? Let’s explore it with ISSQ Quality Institute in the article below!

Process of Implementing ISO 27001:2013 Certification

In each organization, the implementation and development of an ISMS may vary depending on its size, characteristics, and specific requirements.

However, to implement an information security management system in accordance with ISO 27001:2013, organizations need to follow these basic steps:

Step 1: Assess the Current Status of the Organization

Conduct a survey to understand the current status of information security management. At the same time, identify the expectations and requirements of leadership regarding information security management.

Step 2: Develop an ISMS Implementation Plan

Based on the assessment results, ISSQ Quality Institute will propose a suitable plan for building an ISMS aligned with the organization.

Step 3: Develop Documentation and Implement ISO 27001:2013

Establish policies, procedures, and regulations related to information security and officially issue these documents.

After issuance, the organization will apply these requirements into its IT system within the defined scope.

Step 4: Conduct Internal Audit

Internal audits help identify nonconformities with standards, policies, and regulations.

Organizations will then establish corrective action plans and prepare for external certification audits.

Step 5: Certification Audit for ISO 27001:2013

An independent certification body will evaluate whether the organization meets the required standards.

ISSQ Quality Institute will issue the ISMS certificate if all requirements are met.
