SoA alteration

For the first time we need to include Outsourced Development in our Statement of Application, meaning our SoA version changes. How does this impact certification? We wouldn't be due an external audit until August 2019 Many thanks.

Answer:

For a small change on the SoA you only have to keep the evidences that the impact of the changes was evaluated (e.g., by means of an additional management review) and that the required changes on implemented controls were properly planned and implemented. These evidences must be presented on the next surveillance audit.

For big changes on SoA, we recommend you to contact your certification body so it can evaluate if an extra surveillance audit is necessary, or if the certification auditor can leave this verification for the scheduled surveillance audit.
