Evidence about providers

Answer: The point is not whether these providers are ISO 27001 certified or not, the point is whether they comply fully with the security clauses that are part of the contract they have signed with you.

The evidence about this you can get in couple of ways:
- They can send you reports
- You can send your auditor to their company
- You can send third-party auditor to their company to check whether they are compliant with the contract
