PURPOSE OF FORMAL SCOPE DEFINITION

It defines what an organization does to certify effectively controlled by the requirements of the standard, without it the statement of an organization being ISO 27001 Certified could mean a great deal or not much at all.

PURPOSE OF THE ISMS SCOPE

The main purpose of the ISMS scope is to define which information we need to protect. Therefore, it does not matter whether this information is stored within company offices, or somewhere in the cloud. It does not matter this information is accessed from local network, or through remote access. We will be responsible for protecting this information no matter where, how, and by whom this information is accessed.

For example: if we have laptops, which our employees carry out of office, this does not mean these laptops are outside of scope. They should be included in scope if through laptops the employees can access local network and all the sensitive information and services located here.

Of course, the scope is also important for will go for the certification.

The auditor will check the all elements of the ISMS work well within our scope. He won’t be check the departments or systems that are not included in our scope

WHO AND WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN DECIDING ON SCOPE

Understanding an organization and issues are most relevant to it, and the needs expectations of people who have most interest in it.

The requirements of the people and organizations interested company should include any legal or regulatory requirements organization.

SCOPE FOR SUCCESS AND BENEFITS

• Scope of ISMS can reduce its initial cost in resources, or potentially, increase it.
• The ISMS being able to roll out at a single location can certainly be much implementing at multiple, but due to which data networks can cross organizational may not be realistic.
• The feasibility and sensibility of limiting the scope of ISMS will greatly depend on the specifics of organization.
• The key point is, with a limited scope, organizational assets outside of the scope must be treated the same as those external to company.

Better I suggest organization should first determine what it needs so that it would have the greatest benefits for interested companies by being controlled by an ISO 27001 certified ISMS & then work from there to identify the people, process, systems and data that are involved in it.
