Defining scope

My company will start the certification process, but we do not know how to define the scope. Currently we are a Telecom company, and we provide Data Center solution (hosting, colocation and cloud) for our clients. We are in search of market repositioning, but we do not know which scope to limit to be able to stand out to us.

I researched in Editals and RFPs but did not say which processes should be certified in ISO 270001. Could you help me?

Answer: An ISMS scope can be defined in terms of processes, locations and/or information to be protected. Considering that, these are examples of how you can defined your scope:
- Processes related to the provision of hosting, colocation and cloud services to organization's customers (the detail of the processes can be developed later during the risk assessment process)
- Processes performed at physical locations XXX, YYY, ZZZ, etc.
- Information related to the provision of hosting, colocation and cloud services to organization's customers (the detail about the type of information can be identified la ter during the risk assessment process).
