ISO 19770-1 certification & audit

What is ISO 19770-1?

ISO 19770-1 is a management system standard aimed at controlling IT assets. The standard includes an overview of the various categories of IT assets. This standard provides an overview of the different categories of IT assets and looks at these categories in a process-oriented way, taking into account the different steps in the lifecycle. In addition, the interaction with other related processes, such as a financial process or an Information Security process, is also examined, using a risk-based approach.

Why ISO 19770-1?

The interests of IT assets in an organization are tremendous. One example is financial risk (failing license management may lead to unnecessary costs or fines). A second example is the information security risk. Information security is essential to an organization, IT asset management (ITAM) is a vital part of it. For this reason, every organization should consider implementing an IT asset management system.

Certification

Certification is the last step in the process of showing the outside world that you have your IT asset management in order. An independent assessment by Brand Compliance makes your reliability visible.

Certification is a way for organizations to show that they control their IT assets (for instance, vendor’s licences). The IT asset management department can show the organization’s management independent evidence that they are in control of their activities. Certification sets IT asset management on the agenda of the board.

ISO 19770-1 is a management system standard that links up to the High Level Structure that ISO introduced for management system certification This makes it possible to integrate this standard with other management system standards, such as ISO 27001 and ISO 9001.
