ISO/IEC 20000-1, ITIL and ISO/IEC 27001 serve different decisions

ISO/IEC 20000-1 concerns the service management system; ISO/IEC 27001 concerns the information security management system. ITIL supplies adaptable service-management practices and professional qualification routes. An individual ITIL credential does not certify an organisation’s system, and one ISO certificate does not substitute for the other’s scope and requirements.

Conditional operating example

In a hypothetical cloud incident, the service team coordinates restoration, customer communication and problem follow-up while the security team evaluates information risks and containment. These workflows can share incident records and change control. They still need their own objectives, ownership and evidence. Choose an integrated implementation for useful connections without claiming automatic combined certification.

Identify control across the supply chain

In a hypothetical support service using an external cloud provider, compare the customer commitment with the supplier commitment. Define escalation, change notification and performance review responsibilities. Outsourcing does not remove the service organisation’s management responsibility. Explain a dependency that cannot be controlled in the scope and applicability review instead of hiding it.

Standard edition and programme limits

ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 remains current and has a 2024 amendment. It sets service management-system requirements; ISO/IEC 20000-3:2019 supports scope definition and ISO/IEC 20000-6:2017 concerns certification bodies. Certification is not approval of a software product, an individual qualification or a zero-interruption guarantee.

ISO does not issue certificates. Verify the proposed issuer, standard and activity against any claimed accreditation scope. Consultancy cannot guarantee approval; the competent body evaluates evidence and makes the independent decision. The applicant implements the system and prepares procedures specific to its own operations and operating records. A certification enquiry to Kayra concerns actual activities, sites, application information, authority and impartiality risks; this role does not include designing or implementing the client’s system. A management-system certification body, other parts of the same legal entity and controlled entities cannot offer or provide management-system consultancy; separate contracts do not remove this restriction.

Official sources and application limits

The operating examples are hypothetical, not customer events or guaranteed decisions. The actual standard and competent body determine requirements.
