  • Information Classification

    1 - Is there anything that would stop us from simply having two classifications Public and Confidential?

    ISO 27001 does not prescribe classifications to be applied to information, so it is acceptable by the standard that your organization may adopt only Public and Confidential levels.

    2 - Assuming we adopted a mandatory classification protocol at an individual document level on say December 1. What would be the recommendation as to classification of all pre-existing documents

    I'm assuming that by classification you mean define it as different from public.
     
    Considering that, the classification of pre-existing documents will depend on your needs, the results of risk assessment, and applicable legal requirements.
     
    For example, for HR processes you may need to classify all documents related to employees, regardless of how old they are (in most countries this related to laws or regulations). On the other hand, for the Marketing campaign for a new product, you only need to classify it until the new product is released.
     
    It is important to note that the classification of information at the document level is impractical for a large number of documents.

    3 - ...If the response is that every old document must  be classified this would be impossible for us. So therefore my next questions are around whether we can classify not at document level, but at a higher level.:

    ISO 27001 does not prescribe levels to consider to classify information, so you can use the classification that better suits your needs. For example, you can classify documents according to type, the processes or business units they are related to, or where they are stored (e.g., contract type documents, documents related to the software development process, documents related to the HR department, or documents stored in the CFO office).  

    4 - Would it be legitimate to have a classification policy at a document type level?

    Considering previous answers, a classification policy at the document type level is acceptable for ISO 27001 certification purposes.

    5 - Or is it legitimate to classify based upon where the electronic document is stored (eg everything  in this Microsoft Teams channel is Confidential?

    Considering previous answers, classifying documents according to where they are located is acceptable for ISO 27001 certification purposes.  

    6- Overall any general thoughts / advice you may have for creation of a workable classification policy for such a small company?

  • Classification of company assets

    Along with greeting you, I would like to please if you could help me with a question I have. I am classifying the assets of the company and in the case of computers and laptops, for example, do I have to enter into the classification all those that exist in the organization or only one?

    I remain attentive to your response, greetings and thanks

    By your question, I'm assuming you are talking about filling in the asset register.
     
    Considering that, you need to include in the asset register all assets that are related to the ISMS scope (in case the scope covers all organizations, then you need to consider all computers and laptops). But you do not need to include every single asset. You can create a single asset named "laptop" or, in case you need to use different classification levels, you can identify assets like "common laptop" and "development laptop", and define a different classification for each one.
     
    This article will provide you a further explanation about the asset register:  

  • ISO 14001 certification cost and duration

    I believe you’re enquiring about the cost of getting a company ISO 14001 certified.
    The cost and time of getting ISO 14001 certification depend on two important variables: the dimension of the organization and its environmental status.
    For example, concerning time. When there are no problems with compliance obligations according to Advisera’s experience, organizations using our Documentation Toolkit, from start to certification, need:

    • Companies of up to 10 employees - up to 3 months
    • Up to 50 employees - 3 to 6 months
    • Up to 200 employees - 6 to 10 months
    • More than 200 employees - 10 to 20 months

    Without our Documentation Toolkit, they need more time.
    As someone implementing management systems as a consultant for almost 30 years, I have plenty of experience where organizations promise resources and commitment before starting the project and then they fail.

    For example, concerning costs you have to consider two factors:
    · What is the present situation concerning compliance obligations? For example, I have worked with some organizations that had to spend a lot of money to correct their air emissions.
    · Certification costs will depend on certification body to certification body but the main factor is the number of workers in the organization.

  • SOP for Control of Nonconforming Product/Proces

    According to the ISO 13485:2016, there is a requirement for the SOP for the Control of nonconforming product (requirement 8.3.1 General).

    Return merchandise authorization is covered in the requirement 8.3.3 Actions in the response to non-conforming product detected after delivery. Usually, this requirement is covered in the same SOP for the Control of non-conforming products. Organizations must take actions appropriate to the effect that non-conforming products can be issued.

    For more details, please see the following article:

    On the following link you can see how our procedure and template for the non-conforming product look like in ISO 13485:2016 Documentation toolkit:
