What is ISO 20001?
ISO 20001 is the international standard for IT Service Management Systems, published by the International Organization for Standardization.
It specifies requirements for planning, designing, transitioning, delivering, and improving services so they meet service requirements and deliver value to the business and customers.
The standard is aligned with ITIL best practices and provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ITSMS. It is applicable to IT service providers of all sizes, from internal IT departments to external managed service providers.
Certification demonstrates the ability to consistently deliver quality IT services, meet service level commitments, and continually improve service performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about ISO 20001 certification and IT service management systems.
How does ISO 20001 relate to ITIL?
ITIL provides service management best practices, while ISO 20001 specifies auditable requirements for an IT Service Management System. Organizations often use ITIL practices to help implement ISO 20001 effectively.
Can internal IT departments be certified to ISO 20001?
Yes. ISO 20001 applies to both internal IT departments and external service providers. The key issue is whether the organization manages defined IT services within the certification scope.
Do we need a specific ITSM tool to get certified?
No specific tool is required. What matters is that the organization can demonstrate effective service management processes, controls, records, and monitoring across the scoped services.
What processes are usually included in an ISO 20001 ITSMS?
Typical processes include incident management, problem management, change management, release and deployment, service level management, configuration management, and service reporting.
Can ISO 20001 be integrated with ISO 27001?
Yes. ISO 20001 and ISO 27001 are commonly integrated because service management and information security controls often overlap in governance, change control, incident handling, supplier management, and continual improvement.
