Frequently asked questions

The questions compliance leads ask us most about ISO 37301.

ISO 19600 was a guidance document published in 2014 — non-certifiable. ISO 37301 supersedes it, is certifiable, and includes more specific requirements (e.g., independence of the compliance function, board commitment, evidence). If you implemented ISO 19600 you have a strong foundation; we map your existing CMS to ISO 37301 requirements rather than rebuild.
