You can certify against the old ISO 27001 2005 revision until September 25, 2014, but in that case you will have to make the transition to the 2013 revision until September 25, 2015.
The point is to assess which resources will be needed when - e.g. you may have 10 employees in your activity, and 4 of them will be needed immediately when the recovery begins, 1 will be needed 2 hours after that, and remaining 5 employees will be needed 24 hours after.
How to implement all policies and procedures for stage 2
I've received this question:
We have passed Stage 1, Could you please suggest how to implement all policies and procedures for stage 2 and what exactly they check on Stage 2.
Answer: At Stage 2 audit, the certification auditors will check if you really operate according to your policies and procedures - so for example if you have written that you will perform backup every 2 hours, then the auditor will check if this is really done so.
So the answer to your question is: you have to observe all the rules you have documented.
Change in risk assessment methodology in ISO 27001:2013
Answer: Basically, there are two changes regarding risk assessment in ISO 27001 2013 revision: (1) it is not required any more to identify threats and vulnerabilities related to assets - you can identify risk in some other way, and (2) you need to identify risk owner for each risk.
As in 2005 revision, there are no requirements on how to calculate risks - every company can develop it's own method of calculating risks.
Process approach in ISO 27001:2013
As long as a standard demands establishment and maintenance of a system of interrelated processes, their implementation, their control based on measurable results and continual improvement, it is based on process approach, in my opinion. Also, the process approach should prove to be an enabler to achieve business objectives, including customer satisfaction/ delight.
Reasonable prices for ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 27002:2013?
Thanks Dejan for such a prompt response! None of the national standardization bodies seem to be offering these standards for the time being. Shall update as soon as I come across a suitable one with reasonable prices.
The rules for List of Statutory, Regulatory, Contractual and Other Requirements are defined through the Procedure for Identification of Requirements. In this procedure you define who is responsible for filling in the List, but basically you will have 2 sources:
1) Laws and regulations - you can find them here: https://wiki.iso27001standard.com/index.php?title=Laws_and_re************************************************************ />
2) Contractual obligations - you have to browse through the contracts with your clients and see what obligations you have
IRCA is the main body that certifies that a training organization complies with certain standards; TUV is nothing else but a training provider.
Also, Will it be really helpful to go for ISO 27001 lead Auditor training? After ISO 27001 LA training, which certification will be next? And what is your preference?
Although ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 are very compatible, I wouldn't add information security elements in your Quality Policy.
These documents you can use for both standards, you don't have to write them twice:
Document control procedure
Internal audit procedure
Procedure for corrective action
Procedure for preventive action (although this is not required in ISO 27001 2013 revision)
In documents which you use for both QMS and ISMS, you should mention the reference to both ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.
