ISO 27001 and ISO 20000: What is Each Meant for? Many get confused between ISO 27001 with ISO 20000 standards and think both of them are meant to address information management and security aspects in organizations. However, that is just a misconception and there are huge differences between the two certifications! While ISO 27001 certification deals with the management of information security in organizations and helps protect their integrity, the later certification is meant to address IT (Information technology) service management to help in efficient delivery of services. In the next slides, we have explained each certification to help you see the key differences between them.
ISO 20000 Certification The ISO 20000 certification is specifically designed for management of IT services and hence applies to IT-based firms or organizations only. It defines a set of management practices which should be incorporated in their service management system to ensure fast, error-free, and efficient delivery of their services. Achieving the certification can hence help a firm or organization to maximize their client satisfaction and deal with process inconsistencies or issues in an organized way.3
This certification is aimed at assisting companies to form and establish a competent ISMS (information security management system) that will help to protect confidentiality of their valuable business data, stakeholders’ information including client details, intellectual properties, and other informational assets. Thus, the key intention behind achieving ISO 27001 certification is to prevent any crucial organization’s data from being stolen, lost, misused, misplaced or hacked for malicious practices by intruders.

Key Takeaway The key difference between the ISO 20000 and ISO 27001 certification lies in their application. Their purpose and regulations clearly clarify which type of industries or organizations are eligible for these certifications respectively. While the former has a narrower application, i.e. only IT based services firms or organizations can get the certification, the latter has a much wider application. Almost every business sector and organization use and store information in any form, either manually or digitally, and thus have need for an ISMS. The ISO 27001 standard applies to all.
