Scope definition

In your opinion if several registered entities with different natures of business (e.g., data operator, business optimisation consultancy, publication house, and a financial service provider) are part of a registered holding company, how do you determine the ISMS scope, would it pass an ISO audit if the holding company drafted an Acceptable Use Policy or Wi-Fi AUP with expectation of a "one size fits all" entities?

Or would each entity have to have a separate policy that aligns to the holding company's security objectives as far as it applicable to them on an individual basis?

The ISMS scope should be determined considering the information you want to protect, not the relation between the entities of a holding company (this specific issue about entities involved in the certification needs to be aligned with your certification body).

Regarding policies, since the entities have different natures, it would be better to draft different policies, according to the specific risk profile of each entity, as well as other specific issues.
