SaaS provider

In the Risk assessment exercise, as SaaS provider, we are quite focused on protecting PII and other customers data. But I was wondering whether the customer itself could be considered as an asset for the ISO 27001 certification. For example, a threat would be "losing customers" and the vulnerability would be "not being able to guarantee SLA in Incidents management". Would it be something to consider for our ISO 27001 certification ?

To ISO 27001, customers should be considered as interested parts, i.e., someone that can affect, or be affected, by information security, not assets.
