ISO 27001 / ISMS
Why important?
Baseline certificate for an ISMS; often mandatory in tenders.
How measured?
Scale 0–5 + N/A:
- 0 = No ISO 27001 evidence
- 1 = Planned/announced, unclear
- 2 = ISO 27001 in place, scope very limited/unclear
- 3 = ISO 27001 for the relevant core scope, but limited transparency on scope/SoA
- 4 = ISO 27001 broad + scope/SoA well documented
- 5 = ISO 27001 (accredited) + clear scope (services/regions) + verifiably evidenced
- N/A = no reliable evidence
