Brand Compliance achieved accreditation for ISO 27006-1:2024 on December 4, 2024 for its audit activities for ISO 27001. These audit activities are based on the international standard ISO 27006.
What is accreditation?
Accreditation literally means: giving confidence. For Brand Compliance, this means that we are recognized as an expert, independent and reliable party that carries out audits based on ISO 17021-1 for management systems. This gives our (potential) customers certainty about the quality and objectivity of our services.
Accreditation for ISO 27006
The accreditation for ISO 27006-1:2024, which was awarded by the Dutch Accreditation Council (RvA), confirms that Brand Compliance fully complies with the requirements of ISO 27006-1:2024.
This standard represents the management systems and processes surrounding information security. With accreditation for ISO 27006, we are allowed to certify ISO 27001 under accreditation.
Changes
Brand Compliance previously complied with the 2015 version of the standard. The standard has now undergone a transition to ISO 27006-1:2024. This has resulted in a number of changes compared to the previous version. ISO 27006 basically applies to the activities and processes for the Certification Body. However, in this case, a number of changes also affect certified organizations for ISO 27001.
Below you will find the most important changes compared to the previous working method of Brand Compliance:
- Remote audits
Auditors are now required to indicate in their audit report to what extent audits have been carried out remotely. If you no longer have a physical location, this will be stated on the certificate. - Scope extension
When you want to request a scope extension for a control audit or recertification, a minimum audit time now applies. - Your own control framework and ISO 27001 certification
When you use your own control framework in the context of ISO 27001 certification, you can include this framework on your certificate if you meet the requirements.
