Scope definition
Our company has about 50 employees and we develop and manufacture a product with both software and hardware components.
Do we include in the scope document the back-office systems that are used for HR, Marketing, Sales, Finance (inc salaries), and CRM?
I would assume that our customers will not be interested in that but are rather focused on ISO 27001 referring to product-related-systems like R&D, Software development, Manufacturing. And also us protecting their medical information that might be stored on the device.

For companies of your size, our recommendation is to include all the organization in the Information Security Management System (ISMS) scope (i.e., you need to include all the systems you listed in the scope) because the effort to separate what is and what is not part of the scope is not worth it.
