ISO-IEC-20000-1-2018

How to get certified to ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018

The steps to ISO/IEC 20000-1 certification:

Gap Analysis: The Subject Matter Expert (SME) takes a closer look at your existing IT Service Management System to compare it against the requirements of the standard. This exposes open gaps that exist within your system that need further process change and needs further re-work. This is an informal review process (optional) prior to the formal assessment process.
Formal Assessment:The Formal Assessment is a two-stage process. First, an ARC Tech Senior Auditor will examine your organization’s readiness for the assessment by checking existing IT Services Management System (ITSM) processes and controls against the requirements of the ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 Standard. ARC Tech auditor will share gaps and concerned recommendations with the organization. The organization must close the gaps and re-appear for the final assessment with the ARC Tech auditor.
Certification and beyond: Once all requirements of the ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 standard are satisfied as shown in the audit, you will obtain your PECB ISO/IEC 20000-1 certificate which is valid for three years. Your ARC Tech Audit Manager (or Client Manager) will visit you regularly to make sure that your ITSM not only runs compliantly to the requirements of the standard but also improves continuously as is required by the standard.
