ACCREDITATION AND 
AR gEoCodO pGoinNt ItoT sItOartN is to check if the certification body 
has an accreditation (from an acceptable authority such as 
NABCB – National Accreditation Board for Certification 
Bodies, or an accepted international accreditation body). 
Your certification body's accreditation, as their 
accreditation, must mean that you can be assured that the 
certification that you are obtaining is real and will be 
acknowledged across the world. You can check the 
accreditation of a certification body by ensuring its status 
on the government website or the IAF website. Non-
accredited certifiers may be cheaper, but the certification 
will be useless in any real business setting or legal 
situation

EXPERIENCE AND 
EXPERTISE
It’s not just about ticking ISO boxes, your 
certification body should understand your 
industry. Ask how many audits they've 
done in your field, especially for companies 
in Bangalore’s tech-driven environment. 
The more industry-specific experience they 
have, the better they’ll understand the 
risks and controls relevant to your 
business.

AUDIT PROCESS AND 
TRANSPARENCY
An open and well-defined audit process is a green 
light. You should have a clear understanding of 
what happens during initial audits, surveillance 
visits, and recertification. Anyone who is vague as 
to when these will occur or what will happen 
during the audit isn't someone you want to work 
with! A transparent body will walk you through the 
process, timelines, and even help you prepare, as 
long as they don't drift into the territory of 
providing consulting services.

COST AND VALUE
Cheapest isn’t always best, especially in 
cybersecurity. Pricing should be clear and 
proportionate to the scope of your 
operations. Get quotes from multiple 
bodies and ask what’s included. Some 
may charge extra for surveillance audits, 
while others include everything in a 
bundled fee.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND 
COMMUNICATION
If they’re hard to reach before you even 
start, that’s a red flag. Look for responsive 
teams that can answer your questions and 
explain things in plain English. Clear 
communication matters, especially when 
you're navigating audit findings or 
prepping for future evaluations.
