Scope confirmation

I´m taking your ISO 27001 course. Very impressive.

As far as I understood... the ISMS applies in services/departments not in a final product.

Can you give me an opinion about the scope below?

"The management of information security in the provision of all products and services at all locations, within all business units of xxx Corporation"

The xxx company is a very small-sized company with just 08 employees.

First it is important that scope is defined in two different places - (1) in the ISMS scope document, where the specification needs to be much longer since you need to define what is in and what is out of the scope, and (2) in the scope sentence displayed on your certificate - that scope you need to define together with your certification body.

Further, your suggested scope focuses on 'management of information security' which does not make much sense because this would mean that you want to implement security only for your security activities, and not support your regular/business activities and information.
