# How to expand with NEN 7510

You would like your ISO 27001 certification to expand with NEN 7510 certification. Read how to go about this in this article.

## Step-by-step plan to expand with NEN 7510

Below are the steps you need to take to achieve this expansion.

- Start by contacting our [account manager](https://brandcompliance.com/en/application-certification-process/) to extend your contract to NEN 7510 certification.
- After this, we will schedule an additional audit with you. This audit requires at least an additional 0.5 man-day, but can also take more time, depending on the organization.
- We can add NEN 7510 certification during a surveillance or recertification audit.
- After the audit, our auditor prepares a report. Another competent employee of Brand Compliance reviews the report. After this, the auditor sends you the report.
- If any discrepancies are found, you must resolve them within the set timeframe. Once this is done, our auditor will nominate you for certification.
- Our certification committee then carries out an independent assessment. If it comes to the same conclusion as the auditor, your file goes to the certification decision maker.
- After the final decision of the certification decision maker, a NEN 7510 certificate is drawn up and you receive it.

## Expansion audit

What can you expect from the audit to expand with NEN 7510? At a minimum, the audit will look at the following items:

- The Statement of Applicability;
- The implementation of those controls that were previously not applicable, but are applicable according to NEN 7510;
- The scope with the associated laws and regulations;
- Internal audits carried out in accordance with the NEN 7510 standard;
- Whether, during the management review, the organization's management determined that the management system meets the requirements of the [NEN 7510 standard](https://www.nen.nl/en/nen-7510-1-2017-a1-2020-nl-267179).
