What is the best way to set up within our organization the team that do the acces control task, in order to have a correct segregation of responsabilities.
Question regarding the procedure for document and record control
Currently, we are faced with a question regarding the procedure for document and record control: within our certified quality management, we already have such a procedure in place. However, this procedure only applies to documents and records of the management systems, as well as for templates, guidelines and other policies that are binding for employees. In contrast, documents and records that are, for instance, created within customer projects are only implicitly part of the document control, i.e., employees should use the templates that are part of the document control (if applicable). In fact, the templates contain a mandatory field for the confidentiality class and we also will have a policy for classification and labelling of information. Nevertheless, probably a lot of information exists that is not or rather cannot be documented by the use of the controlled templates. Now, we are wondering whether or not the current scope of documents and records to be controlled is also sufficient in terms of the ISO 27001 requirements, in parti cular, in light of the plan to have a policy for classification and labelling?

Risks of external email service provider
We have an external email service provider, the risks of information security are low, because they manage everything, we just send them the list of products with prices. I do not see risks that impact the organization, what do you think you?
Should all applicable controls from Annex A to be fully implemented by the time
Should all applicable controls from Annex A to be fully implemented by the time of the certification audit? What proportion of the controls is acceptable in the status Partially implemented or Planned at the time of the certification audit ? How auditors regard such statuses in SOA? Could this lead to a denial of the issue of the ISO 27001 certificate?
ISO 27001:2013
I am acting for a client who is hoping to go for certification next April and the original gap analysis was done on the 2005 version of the standard. We are keen to be following the 2013 standard so are making the appropriate revisions in documents prepared to date. We have a Risk Treatment plan and a Corrective Action process but In order to show the auditor that we have "converted" I have prepared an extra document which i have called a "Remediation Plan" document which sets out the old controls, the gap analysis score, the new control and the description of the new control which then has a plan of action next to the control (stating the work we need to do such as policy/procedure/process/review etc). The plan of action is really a project plan of the individual groupings on the Risk Treatment Plan in more detail. Do you think that is enough to ensure the auditor knows we have converted ourselves over?
2005 revision deadline
My query is that we have engaged auditing body to conduct stage 1 Audit (June, 2014) in our organization. They have conducted audit on ISO 27001:2005 version and shared finding with us for closure, now we are closing stage 1 Audit findings and plan to engage our Auditor for Stage 2 Audit in mid September, 2014. Our consultant said that the BSI restricted to certify by September, 2014 on ISO 27001:2005 after that companies have to certify on new version that is ISO 27001:2013. The confusion is that If we certify on 2005 revision and unfortunately any major non-compliance raise by Auditor which takes 2 month to close for example, then BSI will certify us on 2005 revision or they said that its November, 2014 and the certification on older version was applicable till September, 2014?
Minimum of three months for records for certification audit
One of our Customer insist there is a minimum of three months for records to be presented in an auditory. I don't find any clause where this period is mentioned.
