Statement of compliance

My previous employer, whom I still support because they are a subsidiary of my current employer (xxxx), has asked me to help them to find and use or to draft an Executive Attestation Statement that they can provide to one of their major clients that will suffice for now to indicate that the company’s (xxxx) IT security policies and standards comply with ISO-27000 standards. They have not had a recent independent audit (such as an xxxx) or an ISO-27000 audit certification. The last xxxx audit they had was done in 2013.

Do you have an executive attestation statement of compliance that they could use for now until the next ISO-27000 security audit occurs in August of this year? If they cannot provide an Executive Attestation at the very least, they may very well lose this client account.

Answer: Regarding ISO 27001, as an equivalent for an Executive Attestation Statement, you could recommend the use of the Statement of Applicability (you can see a free demo of this document at this link: https://advisera.com/27001academy/documentation/sta tement-of-applicability/ and see if it can fulfil his needs).

This article will provide you further explanation about the statement of applicability:
