The scheme is based on the ISO 27000 family of standards which help organisations keep information assets secure.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the best-known standard in the family, providing requirements for an information security management system, thus helping organisations ensure that their information is securely managed.

Applicant CABs will need to comply with ISO/IEC 27006:2015/Amd.1:2020 - Information technology - Security techniques - Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of information security management systems.

As a management systems scheme, applicants also need to comply with ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 – Conformity Assessment – Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems - Part 1: Requirements.
