  • ISO for reputation management

    ISO has not released any new information about a standard for reputation management, but by searching on its site we found three standards that may help you:

    • ISO 10668:2010 Brand valuation — Requirements for monetary brand valuation (https://www.iso.org/standard/46032.html): this published standard can help you evaluate your brand and report the results of such valuation.
    •  ISO 20671, Brand evaluation – Principles and fundamentals (https://www.iso.org/standard/68786.html): specifies the fundamentals and principles for brand evaluation, including an integrated framework for brand evaluation containing necessary brand input elements, output dimensions, and sample indicators.  
    •  ISO/CD 22361 Security and resilience — Crisis Management — Guidelines for developing a strategic capability (https://www.iso.org/standard/50267.html): under evaluation, this standard will help you manage situations that can impact the brand value.

  • Necessity of MDD and MDR for contract manufacturing companies

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    If you are a contract manufacturer, you need to have implemented ISO 13485. The question here is who certified the medical device. If your marketer is responsible for the CE marking of the medical device, then there is supposed to be a Quality agreement between you and your marketer. In that agreement must be stated mutual responsibilities.

    Template of that agreement you can find in our documentation toolkit on the following link:

    Also, as contract manufacturer be ready that notify body for CE marking will audit your company as part of the marketer's audit. It means that the whole audit according to necessary requirements for production and additional services from ISO 13485 will be performed at your company.

    There are no strict requirements that you need to be certified according to the ISO 13485, but your marketer as CE mark holder must be.

  • Comprehensive Information Security Implementation

    Please note that ISO 27701, like ISO 27001, are management systems standards, i.e., they define management systems requirements and controls for privacy information management and information security management, respectively, and other standards from ISO 27xxx series, like ISO 27002, ISO 27035, etc., provide orientation and guidance for their implementation (either for main requirements and security controls).

    Considering that, they can make your implementation of ISO 27701 easier, but they are not mandatory for the implementation of ISO 27701.

    These articles will provide you further explanation about ISO 27001 and ISO 27701:

  • External Documents and the acceptable handling thereof

    1 - Do I need to keep an explicit record, or may I argue that I can request any registered document from our Service desk? 
    I require advice which external documents are required for the ISMS. Your colleague wrote:
    “Examples of external documents are laws and regulations you need to comply with, documentation sent by your customers or suppliers, etc.
    The identification of such documents can be made during identification of ISMS requirements and risk assessment.” 
    The only external documents that we identified as pertaining to our ISMS might be the auditors reports and certificates.

    Answer: Please note that if you can ensure the availability of registered documents stored in your Service Desk you do not need to keep a record on your own.

    2 - Which “identification of ISMS requirements and risk assessment.” Is your colleague referring to?

    I leave my questions at that. I am looking forward to some clarification and will continue from that.

    Answer: Please note that “identification of ISMS requirements and risk assessment” are mandatory steps in the implementation of your ISO 27001 ISMS, and during these steps, you can identify needs to keep specific records.

    For example, when identifying ISMS requirements, you may find that you need to comply with a law (e.g., EU GDPR), and for that, you need to keep some records (e.g., user consent for data processing). Additionally, during risk assessment, for the controls you find applicable, you will need to identify records to be kept for evidencing controls implementation (e.g., backup test report).

  • Requirements for ISO 27001 Certification

    Please note that the required time for the ISMS to be operating before the certification audit is different from one certification body to the other - some require you to have ISMS in full operation for at least 3 months, while others do not have such criteria. The best would be if you ask for proposals from a couple of certification bodies, and ask them this specific question.

  • How a repair under the ISO 13485 can be deemed acceptable?

    If the repair process is not certified at the OEM, it means that the original manufacturer has to have control over that process. It is usually carried out that the original manufacturer prepares the necessary documents for repair and necessary forms that will be proof that some repair has been conducted and give those documents to the OEM. In a Quality agreement between manufacturer and OEM, this should be stated together with the description of the control that the manufacturer will perform over the OEM repair process. One way to control the repair process is to conduct an audit at the OEM, so-called supplier audit.

    Information on performing a supplier audit according to ISO 13485, you can find in the following link:
