If you’re planning to get ISO 27001 certification, choosing the right cyber security certification body is just as important as implementing the ISMS itself. An ISO 27001 certification body is an independent, accredited organization that audits your Information Security Management System (ISMS) and confirms whether it meets ISO 27001 requirements. What makes a good ISO 27001 certification body? Here are a few key things to check before selecting one: Accreditation Ensure the certification body is accredited by a recognized accreditation authority (like UKAS, ANAB, NABCB, etc.). Without accreditation, the certificate may not be globally accepted. Cybersecurity & ISMS Expertise Auditors should have strong experience in information security, risk management, and ISO 27001 controls—not just generic ISO auditing. Industry Experience A certification body familiar with your industry (IT, SaaS, finance, healthcare, etc.) will better understand your risks and processes. Audit Approach A good certification body focuses on value-added audits, not just checklist compliance. The audit should help improve your security posture. Global Recognition If you work with international clients, choose a certification body whose ISO 27001 certificates are widely recognized worldwide. Final thoughts ISO 27001 certification builds trust, credibility, and stronger cybersecurity practices, but only when issued by a reliable and accredited certification body. Take time to evaluate options, ask about auditor experience, and understand the audit process before making a decision. If anyone here has gone through ISO 27001 certification recently, would love to hear which certification body you chose and why.
