3. Adopts an overarching management process to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organization’s information security needs on an ongoing basis

 
The standard defines its ‘process approach’ as “The application of a system of processes within an organization, together with the identification and interactions of these processes, and their management”.

ISO 27001 Consultant – Steps of Certification

 
The ISO/IEC 27001 certification, like other ISO management system certifications, usually involves a three-stage audit process: Stage 1 is a preliminary, informal review of the ISMS, for example checking the existence and completeness of key documentation such as the organization’s information security policy, Statement of Applicability (SoA) and Risk Treatment Plan (RTP).

Stage 2 is a more detailed and formal compliance audit, independently testing the ISMS against the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001 Consultant. The auditors will seek evidence to confirm that the management system has been properly designed and implemented, and is in fact in operation (for example by confirming that a security committee or similar management body meets regularly to oversee the ISMS).
Stage 3 involves follow-up reviews or audits to confirm that the organization remains in compliance with the standard. Certification maintenance requires periodic re-assessment audits to confirm that the ISMS continues to operate as specified and intended.
