ISO 20000-1 certification in New York at a glance
New York's banks, insurers and media groups outsource more IT than most cities, and each one has a vendor-management team that wants to know how the provider handles a Friday-night incident. ISO/IEC 20000-1 answers that with a certified service management system covering the service catalogue, incident and problem management, change, release, capacity and continuity. It overlaps with ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22301, so providers often combine them. Sterling's New York office builds the processes with the operations team, links them to a ticketing tool and runs internal audits before an accredited certification body assesses the system. Sterling Academy and Effivity are included with the engagement. Local questions follow.

ISO 20000-1 in New York: questions clients ask
When does a New York managed-service provider need ISO/IEC 20000-1?
When a client's outsourcing policy or tender asks for a certified service management system. Financial institutions review how a provider handles incidents, changes, capacity and service levels, and the certificate gives that review a common reference. Smaller clients often accept it as an alternative to a lengthy audit.
How is ISO/IEC 20000-1 different from SOC 2?
ISO/IEC 20000-1 certifies a service management system against a standard, while SOC 2 is a CPA firm's report on controls relevant to security and related criteria. Many New York providers hold both because different customers prefer different evidence; the choice depends on who is asking.
