ISO 20000-1 certification in Washington DC at a glance
District technology and cybersecurity providers sell reliability as much as capability. A client handing over its helpdesk, monitoring or hosting wants to know how incidents are logged, how changes are approved and how service levels are measured. ISO/IEC 20000-1 supplies a certified service management system covering the service catalogue, incident and problem management, change and release, capacity, continuity and supplier control, and it fits alongside an information security certificate. Consultancies that operate technology services for clients also use it. Sterling's New York office maps the processes with the operations team, links them to the ticketing tool, runs internal audits and prepares for the accredited certification body's assessment, with Effivity keeping the records tidy. Local questions follow.

ISO 20000-1 in Washington DC: questions clients ask
Which District firms use ISO/IEC 20000-1?
Managed IT, cloud and security-operations providers, and consultancies that run technology services for clients. The certificate shows that an accredited certification body found a service management system in place and working, covering catalogue, incident, change, capacity, continuity and supplier management.
How does ISO/IEC 20000-1 differ from ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 20000-1 is about how services are planned, delivered and improved; ISO/IEC 27001 is about protecting information. A District provider commonly holds both, because clients ask how services are run and how data is protected. Shared processes, such as incident and change management, reduce duplication.
