Rather than focusing solely on IT security, it mandates a Risk Management approach where a business identifies its specific data threats and implements a tailored "Information Security Management System" (ISMS) to mitigate them.
• ISO 28000:2022 certification: No
• ISO 9001 certification: Yes
• Who accredited the ISO 9001 certification: BSI

For an IT reseller, it is less about the technical "specs" of the gear and more about the reliability of the customer experience.; It mandates a "Plan-Do-Check-Act" (PDCA) cycle, requiring the business to document how it handles everything from sales inquiries and order fulfillment to customer complaints and supplier vetting. By shifting the focus from "fixing mistakes" to preventing them through continuous improvement, ISO 9001 ensures that a client receives the same high level of service every time they order. It serves as a structural guarantee that the business is managed through data-driven decisions and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, rather than luck or ad-hoc effort.
