    When it comes to ISO 27001, the words certification and accreditation are often used interchangeably by companies who don’t know better. However, there is a difference. For ISO 27001 in the UK, a certification body tests organisations against the ISO 27001 standard, and gives them a registered certificate if they pass. The accreditation body on the other hand, is responsible for ensuring that the certification bodies all work to the same standard.

    In the UK the accreditation body is UKAS and they’re recognised by the Government. So to sum up, end user companies are certified as ISO 27001 compliance by a certification body, who are in turn accredited by the accreditation body (UKAS).
