ISO/IEC 27013:2021(E)
Introduction
The relationship between information security management and service management is so close that
many organizations already recognize the benefits of adopting the two International Standards for
these domains: ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management and ISO/IEC 20000-1 for service
management. It is common for an organization to improve the way it operates to achieve conformity
with the requirements specified in one International Standard and then make further improvements to
achieve conformity with the requirements of another.
There are a number of advantages for an organization in ensuring its management system takes
into account both the service lifecycle and the protection of the organization’s information. These
benefits can be experienced whether one International Standard is implemented before the other, or
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 are implemented simultaneously. Management and organizational
processes, in particular, can derive benefit from the mutually reinforcing concepts and similarities
between these International Standards and their common objectives.
Key benefits of an integrated implementation of information security management and service
management include the following:
a) credibility to internal and external customers, and other interested parties of the organization, of
effective and secure services;
b) lower cost of implementing, maintaining and auditing an integrated management system, where
effective and efficient management of both services and information security are part of an
organization’s strategy;
c) reduction in implementation time due to the integrated development of processes supporting both
service management and information security management;
d) better communication, increased reliability and improved operational efficiency through
elimination of unnecessary duplication;
e) a greater understanding by service management and information security personnel of each other’s
viewpoints;
f) an organization certified for ISO/IEC 27001 can more easily fulfil the requirements for information
security specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, 8.7.3, as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 are
complementary in requirements.
This document is based on ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018.
This document is intended for use by persons who intend to integrate ISO/IEC 27001 and
ISO/IEC 20000-1, and who are familiar with both, either or neither of those International Standards.
This document does not reproduce content of ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO/IEC 20000-1. Equally, it does not
describe all parts of each International Standard comprehensively. Only those parts where subject
matter overlaps or differs are described in detail. It is assumed that users of this document have access
to ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ISO/IEC 27001.
NOTE Specific legislations can exist, which can impact the planning of an organization’s management system.

of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1
1 Scope
This document gives guidance on the integrated implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1
for organizations intending to:
a) implement ISO/IEC 27001 when ISO/IEC 20000-1 is already implemented, or vice versa;
b) implement both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 together; or
c) integrate existing management systems based on ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1.
This document focuses exclusively on the integrated implementation of an information security
management system (ISMS) as specified in ISO/IEC 27001 and a service management system (SMS) as
specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1.

4 Overview of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1
4.1 Understanding ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1
An organization should have a good understanding of the characteristics, similarities and differences of
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 before planning an integrated management system for information
security management and service management. This maximizes the time and resources available

ISO/IEC 27013:2021(E)
for implementation. Subclauses 4.2 to 4.4 provide an introduction to the main concepts underlying
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 but should not be used as a substitute for a detailed review.
4.2 ISO/IEC 27001 concepts
ISO/IEC 27001 provides a model for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving
an information security management system (ISMS) to protect information. Information can take any
form, be stored in any way and be used for any purpose by, or within, the organization.
To achieve conformity with the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001, an organization should
implement an ISMS based on a risk assessment process. As part of a risk treatment process, the
organization should select, implement, monitor and review a variety of measures to manage identified
risks. These measures are known as information security controls. The organization should determine
acceptable levels of risk, taking into account the requirements of interested parties relevant to
information security. Examples of requirements are business requirements, legal and regulatory
requirements or contractual obligations.
ISO/IEC 27001 can be used by any type and size of organization. Excluding any of the requirements
specified in ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clauses 4 to 10, is not acceptable when an organization claims
conformity to ISO/IEC 27001.
4.3 ISO/IEC 20000-1 concepts
ISO/IEC 20000-1 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually
improving a service management system (SMS). An SMS supports the management of the service
lifecycle, including the planning, design, transition, delivery and improvement of services, which
meet agreed requirements and deliver value for customers, users and the organization delivering the
services.
Some of the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 are grouped into clauses indicating processes,
such as incident management, change management and supplier management. Some requirements
for information security management are specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, 8.7.3. All requirements
specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations,
regardless of the organization’s type or size, or the nature of the services delivered. ISO/IEC 20000-1 is
intended for management of services using technology and digital information. Exclusion of any of the
requirements in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, Clauses 4 to 10, is not acceptable when the organization claims
conformity to ISO/IEC 20000-1, irrespective of the nature of the organization.
4.4 Similarities and differences
Service management and information security management are sometimes treated as if they are
neither connected nor interdependent. The context for such separation is that service management can
easily be related to efficiency, service quality, customer satisfaction and profitability, while information
security management is often not understood to be fundamental to effective service delivery. As a
result, service management is frequently implemented first. There are some shared concepts between
these two disciplines, as well as concepts that are unique to each.
Information security management and service management clearly address very similar requirements
and activities, even though the SMS and the ISMS each highlight different details. When working with
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1, it should be understood that their characteristics differ in more
than one aspect. It is possible that the scopes of an ISMS and an SMS can differ (see 5.2). They also have
different intended outcomes. ISO/IEC 20000-1 is designed to ensure that the organization provides
effective services, while ISO/IEC 27001 is designed to enable the organization to manage information
security risk and recover from or prevent information security incidents.
See Annex A for details of the correspondence between ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clauses 1 to 10, and
ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, Clauses 1 to 10. See Annex B for a comparison of topics between the controls
in ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Annex A, and the requirements in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018. See Annex C for a
comparison of terms and definitions between ISO/IEC 27000 and ISO/IEC 20000-1.

ISO/IEC 27013:2021(E)
5 Approaches for integrated implementation
5.1 General
An organization planning to implement both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 can be in one of three
states as follows:
— unofficial management arrangements exist which cover both information security management
and service management but have not been formalized, documented or deliberately integrated into
the organization’s other activities;
— there is a management system based on ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO/IEC 20000-1;
— there are separate management systems based on ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1, but these
are not integrated.
An organization planning to implement an integrated management system for information security and
service management should consider at least the following:
a) other management system(s) already in use (e.g. a quality management system);
b) the scope(s) of the proposed ISMS and SMS, as well as any difference in scope between them, if
applicable;
c) all services, processes and their interdependencies in the context of the integrated management
system;
d) elements of each management system which can be integrated and how they can be integrated;
e) elements that are to remain separate;
f) the impact of the integrated management system on customers, suppliers and other interested
parties;
g) the impact on technology in use;
h) the impact on, or risk to, the services and service management;
i) the impact on, or risk to, information security and information security management;
j) education and training in the integrated management system;
k) accountabilities and responsibilities for all requirements;
l) phases and sequence of implementation activities.
5.2 Considerations of scope
One area where an ISMS and an SMS can differ is on the subject of scope, namely, what assets, services,
processes and parts of the organization the management system should include.
ISO/IEC 20000-1 is concerned with the planning, design, transition, delivery and improvement of
services to deliver value to customers, users and the organization. The scope of ISO/IEC 20000-1
includes those activities that deliver services. The scope of an SMS can include all or some of the
services delivered by the organization. The organization in the scope of the SMS can be a whole or part
of a larger entity. The SMS scope can also be defined exclusively by a clear physical boundary, such as a
single site delivering services. The organization in the scope of the SMS can also be known as a service
provider.
ISO/IEC 27001 is concerned with how to manage information security risk. The scope of the ISMS covers
those activities related to managing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the organization’s
information.
3
© ISO/IEC 2021 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 27013:2021(E)
For ISO/IEC 27001, the definition of the organization is that which is covered by the ISMS. As with
an SMS, an ISMS can be applied to part or all of an entity and can include services delivered by the
organization. The ISMS scope can also be defined exclusively by a clear physical boundary, such as a
security perimeter around a specific site or part of a site.
In some cases, the full requirements specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ISO/IEC 27001 cannot be
implemented for all, or even part, of the organization’s activities. This can be the case if, for example,
an organization cannot conform to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 because other
parties provide or operate all the services, service components or processes in the scope of the SMS.
ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, 8.2.3, states that not all services, service components and processes can be
provided by other parties – the organization itself should provide at least some of these.
An organization can implement an SMS and an ISMS with some overlap between the different scopes.
Where activities lie within the scope of both ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ISO/IEC 27001, the integrated
management system should take both ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ISO/IEC 27001 into consideration (see
Annex A). Differences in scope can result in some services included in the SMS being excluded from
the scope of the ISMS. Equally, the SMS can exclude processes and functions of the ISMS. For example,
some organizations choose to implement an ISMS only in their operation and communication functions,
while application management services are included in their SMS but not in the ISMS. Alternatively, the
ISMS can cover all the services, while the SMS can cover only the services for a particular customer or
some services for all customers. The organization should align the scopes of the management systems
as much as possible to ensure successful integration and to maximize the benefits of the integrated
management system.
NOTE Guidance on scope definition for ISO/IEC 20000-1 is available in ISO/IEC 20000-3. Guidance on the
scope definition for ISO/IEC 27001 is available in ISO/IEC 27003.
5.3 Pre-implementation scenarios
5.3.1 General
An organization planning an integrated management system can be in one of three states, as described
in 5.3.2 to 5.3.4. In all cases, the organization has some form of management processes or it would
not exist. Subclauses 5.3.2, 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 provide suggestions for implementation in each of the three
states described in 5.1.
5.3.2 Neither standard is currently used as the basis for a management system
It is easy to assume that, where neither an ISMS or an SMS is implemented, there are no policies,
processes and procedures and that, therefore, the situation is simple to deal with. However, this is a
misconception.
All organizations have some form of management system, which may simply be its processes, plans
and policies. This should be adapted to achieve conformity with the requirements specified in either
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1, or both.
The decision regarding the order in which the requirements for the ISMS and the SMS will be
implemented should be based on business needs and priorities. Decisions can be influenced by the
primary driver, for example, competitive positioning or the need to demonstrate conformity to a
customer or other interested party.
Another important decision is whether to implement both an SMS and an ISMS concurrently or
sequentially. If the implementation is sequential, either the SMS or the ISMS is implemented and then
that management system is extended to include the additional requirements of the other. Both an
SMS and an ISMS can be implemented concurrently, if implementation activities and efforts can be
coordinated and duplication minimized. However, depending on the nature of the organization, it can
be prudent to start with the requirements specified in one standard and then expand the management
system to include the requirements of the other.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 27013:2021(E)
These considerations are illustrated in the following scenarios.
— Scenario 1: An organization that provides services should start with the implementation of
ISO/IEC 20000-1 and then, working from lessons learned during that implementation, expand the
management system to include the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001.
— Scenario 2: An organization that is using other parties for delivery of some services or parts of a
service should initially focus on ISO/IEC 20000-1. ISO/IEC 20000-1 includes more requirements for
managing other parties, including external and internal suppliers as well as customers acting as a
supplier. The organization should then proceed to ISO/IEC 27001.
— Scenario 3: A small organization should focus on one of either ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO/IEC 20000-1,
depending on its level of reliance on service management or information security.
— Scenario 4: An organization can choose to implement an ISMS and SMS concurrently. This can be
handled as a single project, or as two parallel sub-projects w

Introduction
The relationship between information security management and service management is so close that
many organizations already recognize the benefits of adopting the two International Standards for
these domains: ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management and ISO/IEC 20000-1 for service
management. It is common for an organization to improve the way it operates to achieve conformity
with the requirements specified in one International Standard and then make further improvements to
achieve conformity with the requirements of another.
There are a number of advantages for an organization in ensuring its management system takes
into account both the service life cycle and the protection of the organization’s information. These
benefits can be experienced whether one International Standard is implemented before the other, or
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 are implemented simultaneously. Management and organizational
processes, in particular, can derive benefit from the mutually reinforcing concepts and similarities
between these International Standards and their common objectives.
Key benefits of an integrated implementation of information security management and service
management include the following:
a) credibility, to internal and external customers and other interested parties of the organization, of
effective and secure services;
b) lower cost of implementing, maintaining and auditing an integrated management system, where
effective and efficient management of both services and information security are part of an
organization’s strategy;
c) reduction in implementation time due to the integrated development of processes supporting both
service management and information security management;
d) better communication, increased reliability and improved operational efficiency through
elimination of unnecessary duplication;
e) a greater understanding by service management and information security personnel of each other’s
viewpoints;
f) an organization certified for ISO/IEC 27001 can more easily fulfil the requirements for information
security specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, 8.7.3, as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 are
complementary in requirements.
This document is based on ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO/IEC 200001:2018.
This document is intended for use by persons who intend to integrate ISO/IEC 27001 and
ISO/IEC 200001, and who are familiar with both, either or neither of those International Standards.
This document does not reproduce content of ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO/IEC 20000-1. Equally, it does not
describe all parts of each International Standard comprehensively. Only those parts where subject
matter overlaps or differs are described in detail. It is assumed that users of this document have access
to ISO/IEC 200001 and ISO/IEC 27001.
NOTE Specific legislations can exist, which can impact the planning of an organization’s management
system.

1 Scope
This document gives guidance on the integrated implementation of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001
for organizations intending to:
a) implement ISO/IEC 27001 when ISO/IEC 20000-1 is already implemented, or vice versa;
b) implement both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001 together; or
c) integrate existing management systems based on ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1.
This document focuses exclusively on the integrated implementation of an information security
management system (ISMS) as specified in ISO/IEC 27001 and a service management system (SMS) as
specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1.

4 Overview of ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1
4.1 Understanding ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1
An organization should have a good understanding of the characteristics, similarities and differences of
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1 before planning an integrated management system for information
security management and service management. This maximizes the time and resources available
for implementation. Subclauses 4.2 to 4.4 provide an introduction to the main concepts underlying
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001 but should not be used as a substitute for a detailed review.

ISO/IEC FDIS 27013:2021(E)
4.2 ISO/IEC 27001 concepts
ISO/IEC 27001 provides a model for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving
an information security management system (ISMS) to protect information. Information can take any
form, be stored in any way and be used for any purpose by, or within, the organization.
To achieve conformity with the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001, an organization should
implement an ISMS based on a risk assessment process. As part of a risk treatment process, the
organization should select, implement, monitor and review a variety of measures to manage identified
risks. These measures are known as information security controls. The organization should determine
acceptable levels of risk, taking into account the requirements of interested parties relevant to
information security. Examples of requirements are business requirements, legal and regulatory
requirements or contractual obligations.
ISO/IEC 27001 can be used by any type and size of organization. Excluding any of the requirements
specified in ISO/IEC 27001:2013, Clauses 4 to 10 is not acceptable when an organization claims
conformity to ISO/IEC 27001.
4.3 ISO/IEC 20000-1 concepts
ISO/IEC 20000-1 specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually
improving a service management system (SMS). An SMS supports the management of the service life
cycle, including the planning, design, transition, delivery and improvement of services, which meet
agreed requirements and deliver value for customers, users and the organization delivering the
services.
Some of the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 are grouped into clauses indicating processes,
such as incident management, change management and supplier management. Some requirements
for information security management are specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, 8.7.3. All requirements
specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations,
regardless of the organization’s type or size, or the nature of the services delivered. ISO/IEC 20000-1 is
intended for management of services using technology and digital information. Exclusion of any of the
requirements in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, Clauses 4 to 10, is not acceptable when the organization claims
conformity to ISO/IEC 20000-1, irrespective of the nature of the organization.
4.4 Similarities and differences
Service management and information security management are sometimes treated as if they are
neither connected nor interdependent. The context for such separation is that service management can
easily be related to efficiency, service quality, customer satisfaction and profitability, while information
security management is often not understood to be fundamental to effective service delivery. As a
result, service management is frequently implemented first. There are some shared concepts between
these two disciplines, as well as concepts that are unique to each.
Information security management and service management clearly address very similar requirements
and activities, even though the SMS and the ISMS each highlight different details. When working with
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001, it should be understood that their characteristics differ in more
than one aspect. It is possible that the scopes of an ISMS and an SMS can differ (see 5.2). They also have
different intended outcomes. ISO/IEC 200001 is designed to ensure that the organization provides
effective services, while ISO/IEC 27001 is designed to enable the organization to manage information
security risk and recover from or prevent information security incidents.
See Annex A for details of the correspondence between ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001 for
Clauses 1 to 10. See Annex B for a comparison of topics between the controls in ISO/IEC 27001:2013,
Annex A and the requirements in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018. See Annex C for a comparison of terms and
definitions between ISO/IEC 27000 and ISO/IEC 20000-1.

5 Approaches for integrated implementation
5.1 General
An organization planning to implement both ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001 can be in one of three
states as follows:
— unofficial management arrangements exist which cover both information security management
and service management but have not been formalized, documented or deliberately integrated into
the organization’s other activities;
— there is a management system based on ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO/IEC 20000-1;
— there are separate management systems based on ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 20000-1, but these
are not integrated.
An organization planning to implement an integrated management system for information security and
service management should consider at least the following:
a) other management system(s) already in use (e.g. a quality management system);
b) the scope(s) of the proposed ISMS and SMS, as well as any difference in scope between them, if
applicable;
c) all services, processes and their interdependencies in the context of the integrated management
system;
d) elements of each standard which can be merged and how they can be merged;
e) elements that are to remain separate;
f) the impact of the integrated management system on customers, suppliers and other interested
parties;
g) the impact on technology in use;
h) the impact on, or risk to, services and service management;
i) the impact on, or risk to, information security and information security management;
j) education and training in the integrated management system;
k) accountabilities and responsibilities for all requirements;
l) phases and sequence of implementation activities.
5.2 Considerations of scope
One area where an ISMS and an SMS can differ is on the subject of scope, namely, what assets, services,
processes and parts of the organization the management system should include.
ISO/IEC 20000-1 is concerned with the planning, design, transition, delivery and improvement of
services to deliver value to customers, users and the organization. The scope of ISO/IEC 200001
includes those activities that deliver services. The scope of an SMS can include all or some of the
services delivered by the organization. The organization in the scope of the SMS can be a whole or part
of a larger entity. The SMS scope can also be defined exclusively by a clear physical boundary, such as a
single site delivering services. The organization in the scope of the SMS can also be known as a service
provider.
ISO/IEC 27001 is concerned with how to manage information security risk. The scope of the ISMS covers
those activities related to managing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the organization’s
information.

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO/IEC FDIS 27013:2021(E)
For ISO/IEC 27001, the definition of the organization is that which is covered by the ISMS. As with
an SMS, an ISMS can be applied to part or all of an entity and can include services delivered by the
organization. The ISMS scope can also be defined exclusively by a clear physical boundary, such as a
security perimeter around a specific site or part of a site.
In some cases, the full requirements specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ISO/IEC 27001 cannot be
implemented for all, or even part, of the organization’s activities. This can be the case if, for example,
an organization cannot conform to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 20000-1 because other
parties provide or operate all the services, service components or processes in the scope of the SMS.
ISO/IEC 200001:2018, 8.2.3, states that not all services, service components and processes can be
provided by other parties – the organization itself should provide at least some of these.
An organization can implement an SMS and an ISMS with some overlap between the different scopes.
Where activities lie within the scope of both ISO/IEC 200001 and ISO/IEC 27001, the integrated
management system should take both ISO/IEC 20000-1 and ISO/IEC 27001 into consideration (see
Annex A). Differences in scope can result in some services included in the SMS being excluded from
the scope of the ISMS. Equally, the SMS can exclude processes and functions of the ISMS. For example,
some organizations choose to implement an ISMS only in their operation and communication functions,
while application management services are included in their SMS but not in the ISMS. Alternatively, the
ISMS can cover all the services, while the SMS can cover only the services for a particular customer or
some services for all customers. The organization should align the scopes of the management systems
as much as possible to ensure successful integration and to maximize the benefits of the integrated
management system.
NOTE Guidance on scope definition for ISO/IEC 20000-1 is available in ISO/IEC 20000-3. Guidance on the
scope definition for ISO/IEC 27001 is available in ISO/IEC 27003.
5.3 Pre-implementation scenarios
5.3.1 General
An organization planning an integrated management system can be in one of three states, as described
in 5.3.2 to 5.3.4. In all cases, the organization has some form of management processes or it would
not exist. Subclauses 5.3.2, 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 provide suggestions for implementation in each of the three
states described in 5.1.
5.3.2 Neither standard is currently used as the basis for a management system
It is easy to assume that, where neither an ISMS or an SMS is implemented, there are no policies,
processes and procedures and that, therefore, the situation is simple to deal with. However, this is a
misconception.
All organizations have some form of management system, which may simply be its processes, plans
and policies. This should be adapted to achieve conformity with the requirements specified in either
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 200001, or both.
The decision regarding the order in which the requirements for the ISMS and the SMS will be
implemented should be based on business needs and priorities. Decisions can be influenced by the
primary driver, for example competitive positioning or the need to demonstrate conformity to a
customer or other interested party.
Another important decision is whether to implement both an SMS and an ISMS concurrently or
sequentially. If the implementation is sequential, either the SMS or the ISMS is implemented and then
that management system is extended to include the additional requirements of the other. Both an
SMS and an ISMS can be implemented concurrently, if implementation activities and efforts can be
coordinated and duplication minimized. However, depending on the nature of the organization, it can
be prudent to start with the requirements specified in one standard and then expand the management
system to include the requirements of the other.

ISO/IEC FDIS 27013:2021(E)
These considerations are illustrated in the following scenarios.
— Scenario 1: An organization that provides services should start with the implementation of
ISO/IEC 20000-1 and then, working from lessons learned during that implementation, expand the
management system to include the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 27001.
— Scenario 2: An organization that is using other parties for delivery of some services or parts of a
service should initially focus on ISO/IEC 20000-1. ISO/IEC 20000-1 includes more requirements for
managing other parties, including external and internal suppliers as well as customers acting as a
supplier. The organization should then proceed to ISO/IEC 27001.
