Certification to a standard is the outcome of a successful assessment by an independent third party, commonly known as Certification Body (CB). Monitoring (check) of the implemented system is a vital element of ISO 27001 2022 standard. Organizations perform internal audits (first-party audits) to check how their quality management system is working. An organization may decide to invite an independent certification body to verify (third party audits) that it is in conformity to the standard, but there is no requirement for this. Alternatively, it might invite its clients to audit (second party audit) the information security system for themselves. So, certification to 27001 2022 standard is not a mandatory requirement, but can be a useful tool to demonstrate that you meet its criteria. Independent Third-Party Certification Bodies offer ISO 27001 2022 Certification across the globe. Our ISO 27001 consultancy services do not include Certification. Role of Consultivo as an ISO 27001 Consultancy Firm Being one of the practicing ISO 27001/ISMS consultants, Consultivo facilitates the certification process on behalf of the customer but maintains independence from the process & decision making of certification by the Certification Bodies (CB).
