Answer:
You noticed correct - high pressure (including a lot of buzz and mess inside the incident management team are example of disadvantages. The other, what I can think of, are:
- misuse - when there is no right definition of what major incident is - there is a danger in misusing incident categorization as major incident in order to get more attention, resources and quicker resolution
- costs - resolving major incidents will require recruiting of best people you can find. Sometimes external ones. And such resources are expensive. More incidents categorized as "major" - more money spent.
- time factor - major incident gets (usually)highest priority, so all other activities are paused until major incident is resolved.
But, please don't take disadvantages as stopper for major incident process implementation. Such process has to exist, just be aware that there are side-effects.
The process of implementation is the same for every company regardless of the type of business and processes.
First, you need to have the top management on board for this project, because without their support it would be impossible to implement the standard. Next step is to perform a GAP analysis in order to determine to which level your company is already compliant with the standard and what needs to be done to achieve the full compliance.
Then, it is the best to set up the implementation as a project, to clearly define all the tasks and responsibilities for the tasks as well as the deadlines. Once you create all necessary documents and implement the changes in your processes, you can conduct the internal audit and management review and then your company will be ready for certification audit.
As far as E2 shop system is concerned, this information just need to be included in your documentation and particularly in your sales proced ure.
By the way do you have a list of all procedures/documentation that are required by ISO, minimum as well as suggested.
Answer:
Yes, we do have a list of mandatory documents and records as well as the suggested ones. You can find them in the article:

And, there is also a whitepaper with additional information about documents and records in new version of the standard: Checklist of Mandatory Documentation Required by ISO 9001:2015 https://advisera.com/9001academy/free-downloads//
Change Initiator vs Change Implementer
Answer:
Change initiator is someone who starts i.e. initiates Change Management process. That could be your customer, Service Level Manager, you Continual Service Improvement manager (or some similar role), Problem Management process...etc. That depends how did you set your Change management process.
Change Implementer is the one who implements change. Usually, Release and Deployment Management process is responsible to implement changes. Of course, standard changes (i.e. pre-approved changes) are not meant by that. They will be implemented by your administrators, IT Operations team or someone similar (again, depending on the organizational setup).
We hope you in the next webinar where we will also speak about this process of implementation, and remember that we also have an online course that can be interesting for you “ISO 27001:2013 Foundations Course” : https://advisera.com/training/iso-27001-foundations-course/
ISO 27001 and COBIT 5
Answer:
