ISO basic certificate: Your roadmap to certification

1. The company
Entering the basic company data on your certification platform is a key step on the way to ISO certification. This includes analysing the company environment.

6. Valuations
The ISO standards require an initial audit and an initial management review to be carried out as the basis for certification. We have already prepared and created both documents for you so that you are already optimally prepared for certification.

6.1. internal audit
As part of the establishment of our information security management system, we carried out a system audit to check conformity with the standard chapters of ISO 27001. We went through the requirements of the standard step by step and compared them with the implementation in our company.
This procedure enables us to determine the extent to which the specified standards for information security are complied with and where adjustments may be necessary. The result of this comprehensive review is set out in this first audit report, which documents both the strengths and potential for improvement of our information security management system.

Valuations / Management report
We have carried out an initial management review. We went through the requirements of chapter 9.3 of ISO 27001 step by step and checked the points listed there. This initial management review shows how our information security management system is currently implemented and what need for improvement has been recognised. The categorisation provides information on how the conclusions were drawn.
- Comprehensive analysis: We carried out a detailed assessment of the implementation of the security requirements, in particular with regard to the identified information security risks and their management.
- Performance review: We checked whether the measures introduced to improve information security were implemented effectively and achieved the desired results.
The results of this management review document both the strengths and the identified potential for improvement of our information security management system and serve as a basis for future measures to continuously improve information security.

Information Security
This document represents our first structured assessment of the information security of our independent activities. It looks at organisational as well as personal, technical and technological aspects of our working methods. The aim of this analysis is to make existing risks transparent and to create a comprehensible basis for the targeted improvement of our information security.

7. Declaration of principle
The ISO standards require that you, as a self-employed person or company management, commit to the principles of your management system. This also includes your employees. If you wish, you can also invite network partners or freelancers to also commit to the principles.
