My organisation is non-IT and we are already ISO 9001:2015 certified, Now client want us to be certified in ISO 27001. But that certification is not beneficial for us in future as we are non -IT company. Can you please advise whether we should go for this certification just because client is asking or it has future benefits. If not necessary then what reply can be given back to client,.
How many threats and vulnerabilities to display
I've got another question about the ISO 27001 Risk Assessment Table. In this table, should I only focus on the threats and vulnerabilities that are likely to happen, or can I include every possible option? How wide can and should I go? Because in the example I have seen on the video tutorial, you used 'flood' as a possible threat, which is very unlikely to happen I suppose. So does it matter if / is it necessary that I include all possible threats with a likelihood score of 0?
External auditor questions
Do you have a list of sample questions that the external auditor might ask?
Acceptable use policy and telework
1 - Can I refer to for example the ‘Acceptable Use Policy’ as an existing control to prevent the theft of a smartphone (with company information on it) of an employee? Or do I have to mention this in the Risk Treatment Plan?
Risk acceptance
Hello, in a recent time we had a discussion within the software development team. As you know, A.12.1.4 control forces us to separate development, test and live fields. However, for some development tools, it is not possible to separate them. Also, some projects forces us not to separate them all. In this situation, can there be an exclusion for not to implement this control? What can be the metrics to implement and not to implement this control? Thanks for your help.

We are using your toolkit for leading an organisation through certification.
Risk assessment, information labelling and security committee
Question 1:
ISMS scope definition
Can we restrict our scope of ISMS to IT Department and get certified for it for ISO 27001?
Annual auditing of controls
1- Once a company has secured their ISO27K certification and are performing annual internal audits of the controls is there any reason for them to pay for an annual exterior audit versus providing the internal audit results to the firm that provided the certification?
Do we have to use the control A.12.1.4 for all software development processes?
