1. In the document "PROCEDURE FOR THE CONTROL OF DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS", I have to choose between ISMS and SMCA.
When filling out the "PROJECT PLAN", I read one of your comments "Delete this text and the table if business continuity management is not part of the project."
Can we do both with your kit? Does choosing the ISMS automatically include the SMCA?
I’m assuming that by SMCA you mean Système de Management de la Continuité des Activités
Considering that, the FR ISO 27001 Documentation Toolkit you bought can be used only to implement ISO 27001. What happens is that some templates in the ISO 27001 Documentation Toolkit are also used for ISO 22301 implementation, but your toolkit does not have all templates for implementing ISO 22301 (this is not an automatic choice, you need to choose the toolkit according to your specific needs).
For implementing both ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 you will need the ISO 27001 & ISO 22301 Premium Documentation Toolkit (this toolkit contains all templates designed for both ISO 27001 and ISO 22301): https://advisera.com/27001academy/fr/boite-a-outils-iso-27001-iso-22301-premium/
2.In the document "PROCEDURE FOR THE CONTROL OF DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS", we must define the Title of a post ensuring the conformity of the documents.
We are 5 in the company. I am the founder and I took charge of the file. Should I put my name, my post of "President" or other.
Can I put my role in this "Quality Manager" project?
ISO 27001 does not specify how to identify responsibilities in documents, but common practice is to use job titles, so in case a person is replaced you do not need to update the document.
Considering your case, if the "Quality Manager" role will be used after the project is concluded then you can use it. If not you should use the “President” role.
I assume your question is with a finding written in the IATF audit. The control plan describes what the process and product controls should be, the frequency of control, and the recording location. The responsible person should make these checks and write the actual values in the relevant form. If these controls are missing. Since the control plan is not complied with, a finding can be written from item 8.5.1.1 of IATF 16949 standard, or the production monitoring item can be found in 9.1.1.1 of IATF 16949 standard. If this issue appeared during the set-up controls. Findings can also be written from article 8.5.1.3 of the IATF 16949 standard.
An ISO 27001 certification means that an organization complies only with the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard. It does not mean compliance with other regulations or boards.

ISO 27001 does not prescribe the contents of change records, so organizations can develop them as they see fit.
To see an example, I suggest you take a look at the free demo of our Request for Change and Change Record at this link: https://advisera.com/20000academy/documentation/request-for-change-and-change-record/, but remember that such a form is not really needed for ISO 27001 compliance.
For further information see:
I’m assuming that by KSA you mean the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and that NCA ECC are the Cyber Security Controls from the National Cyber Security Authority.
Considering that, please note that NAC ECC focuses on cybersecurity domains, while ISO 27001 is more comprehensive (you can use it in non-technological based environments for example).
Additionally, in a closer look, you can identify that all controls from ISO 27001 Annex A are covered by NAC ECC, but applied with a cybersecurity orientation.
So, the main difference between NAC ECC is not related to controls, but to their applicability (ISO 27001 is more comprehensive), and that a company can get ISO 27001 certified, and the ISO 27001 standard is recognized worldwide.
A third-party working for an ISO 27001 company does not need to be ISO 27001 certified unless the company defines the certification as a requirement for the third party
This article will provide you with further explanation about requirements identification:
This is a very specific question not related to management systems. So, I’m not an expert. However, I recommend you to explore this ISO page - 13.030 WASTES - https://www.iso.org/ics/13.030/x/
My doubt is how to attend or what are the minimum at the document level, that I must have from information security to attend to the controls that correspond to A.17 in ISO 27001:2013
At the document level, to be compliant with ISO 27001:2013 Annex A.17 controls you only need to document disaster recovery plans.
To see how a Disaster recovery plan compliant with ISO 27001 looks like, please take a look at this template demo: https://advisera.com/27001academy/documentation/disaster-recovery-plan/
This article will provide you with a further explanation of Disaster Recovery:
The Security Operation Centre (SOC) is not a concept of ISO 27001, so it is not mandatory to have a SOC to be compliant with ISO 27001.
This article will provide you with further explanation of the mandatory requirements for ISO 27001:
As per article 3 GDPR, Territorial scope, GDPR applies to non-EU organizations that either offer goods or services to data subjects in the Union or that monitor their behavior as far as their behavior takes place within the Union. In your case, however, from your input, you don’t offer goods and services to people in the EU, you offer services to organizations in the EU. In this case, you should act as a Data Processor for personal data that you process on behalf of your customers. However, as per Chapter V GDPR - Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organizations and per European Data Protection Board’s Guidelines 05/2021 on the Interplay between the application of Article 3 and the provisions on international transfers as per Chapter V of the GDPR, there is a transfer of personal data between your EU customers and your US company. So, per Article 44 – General principle for transfers and per Article 46 – Transfers subject to appropriate safeguards, you should use an appropriate legal mechanism for the compliant personal data transfer between EU and US. You might choose to use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) templates, the latest version issued by European Commission, but you must take into consideration that after the European Union Court of Justice Schrems II decision, you should make sure that the transferred personal data has the same level of protection as it is offered under GDPR, by taking the right technical and organizational measures needed to protect the data.
Part of our EU GDPR Toolkit, we have a Cross Border Personal Data Transfer Procedure template and the EU SCCs with comments that help you fill in the template.
