There are many organization issued ISO 270001 Certification like PECB, IRCA , ISO and RABQSA. Which one is the best?
Answer:
They are different things (PECB, IRCA, ISO and RABQSA). Certification bodies can issue a certificate of ISO 27001 for a company; some certification bodies: PECB, Bureau Veritas, BSI, AENOR, SGS, etc. But IRCA, ISO or RABQSA are not certification bodies that can issue certificates for companies, although IRCA and RABQSA can certify individual professionals (ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, Lead Implementer, etc).
So basically a certification body (for example PECB) can certify companies in ISO 27001, but these entities need to be accredited in each country by an accreditation body (In United Kingdom for example is UKAS : https://www.ukas.com).
Also it is important to know that ISO is not a certification body, neither accreditation body, it is only a standardization body that develops and publishes standards (ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 9001, etc).
To know what is the best certification body for your business, there ar e some parameters like reputation, accreditation, etc. For more information please read this article How to choose a certification body : https://advisera.com/blog/2021/01/11/how-to-choose-an-iso-certification-body/
