Document control procedure

1 - Yesterday our company bought your documentation package for ISO27001. At the moment I'm dealing with the first document: the document control procedure. Can you tell me what the reference documents are for? How do I know / can figure out it's a reference document to this specific document?

Answer: The section "Reference documents" is used to list any document in the company used to define document control. These may be, for example, a documented decision from top management, an internal policy, or an industry regulation.

To identify documents to be referred in the document control procedure, you must identify which requirements, internal or external, the business must fulfil regarding documentation control.

In the toolkit you bought you have access to video tutorials that will help you filling the document control procedure.

2 - We are an IT company (a webhosting provider). Do you have documents and / or recommendations for an industry like this (what are mandatory documents and what not)? Already saw the mandatory documents list.

Answer: ISO 27001 was designed to be easily used by organizations from any industry, so mandatory documents won't change much because you are a webhosting provider - we have lots of clients that are in the same business and there was no need to have any extra security documents.
