ISO 9000

ISO 9000 is a series of standards, developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), that define, establish, and maintain an effective quality assurance system for manufacturing and service industries.[1][2] The standards are available through national standards bodies. ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals of quality management systems,[3] including the eight management principles upon which the family of standards is based.[3][4] ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard must fulfill.[5] Third-party certification bodies provide independent confirmation that organizations meet the requirements of ISO 9001. Over a million organizations worldwide[6] are independently certified, making ISO 9001 one of the most widely used management tools in the world today. Despite widespread use, the ISO certification process has been criticized[7][8] as being wasteful and not being useful for all organizations.[9][10]

ISO/IEC 27001 Information security standard ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security. The standard was originally published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005[1] and then revised in 2013.[2] It details requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) – the aim of which is to help organizations make the information assets they hold more secure.[3] A European update of the standard was published in 2017.[4] Organizations that meet the standard's requirements can choose to be certified by an accredited certification body following successful completion of an audit. The effectiveness of the ISO/IEC 27001 certification process and the overall standard has been addressed in a recent large-scale study.[5] How the standard works[edit] ISO/IEC 27001 requires that management: Certification[edit]
