Focus the ISMS scope

We are planning to focus the scope on IT Department only could this be treated as the entire organization will be treated as outside world. What is your advise?

Answer:
I am sorry but I am not sure what do you mean, but you can define the scope of the ISMS limiting it to only the IT department. Another way, is to define the scope for the whole organization, and generally it is our recommendation. For more information about the definition of the scope, please read this article “How to define the ISMS scope” : https://advisera.com/27001academy/knowledgebase/how-to-define-the-isms-scope/

If you limit the ISMS scope to your IT department only, you will have to treat the other departments in your company as third parties, and this is why creating such a scope is difficult.
