Information Security Management Systems
We are the only internationally recognized accreditation body in Canada offering Information Security Management Systems accreditation, which is based on ISO/IEC 27006, the international standard for providing information security management systems audit and certification. As a pre-requisite, certification bodies must also be accredited to ISO/IEC 17021-1.
Organizations across industries and of all sizes implementing the ISO/IEC 27001 management systems standard to manage the security of their assets – such as financial information and intellectual property – often turn to SCC-accredited certification bodies for third-party oversight. Reasons include procurement eligibility requirements, regulatory compliance and competitive differentiation. The ISO/IEC 27001 standard is applicable for businesses of all sizes and can be easily integrated with other management systems standards, such as ISO 9001, due to its common structure.
We are signatories to the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) for this management systems sub-program. This means that certification to ISO/IEC 27001 by SCC-accredited certification bodies is widely accepted internationally.
