ISO 27001 Certifications
What you need to think about
To ensure that your information security management system (ISMS) based on ISO 27001 is appropriate and effective, it is necessary to understand to what it will apply. This is known as setting the scope of the ISMS and is a requirement of the ISO 27001 Standard.
There are two factors to consider when it comes to setting the scope; what is going to be in scope and out of scope.
Some businesses, particularly those smaller or with relatively lower complexity, this becomes a simple operation as they are likely to include everything.
Some businesses may have reasons to exclude parts of their business whether that be because they are large and don’t want to take on too bigger task or due to restrictions in some way, e.g. lack of finance, short timescales.
