ISO/IEC 20000-1 IT Service Management

Run IT as a reliable, measurable service. ISO/IEC 20000-1 gives you a certifiable IT service management system, and we help you build it around the services your business depends on.

What ISO/IEC 20000-1 Is

ISO/IEC 20000-1 is the international standard for a service management system. It sets requirements for planning, delivering and improving IT services: service levels, incident and problem management, change and release, configuration, capacity, continuity and supplier management.

It is widely used by internal IT departments and IT service providers to show customers and leadership that services are managed with discipline. It works well alongside ITIL practices and ISO/IEC 27001.

Who Needs This

  • IT departments that want to run IT as a measurable service.
  • Managed service providers and IT outsourcers proving service quality.
  • Organizations whose customers or regulators ask for IT service assurance.

Our Methodology

Every engagement follows the Cyber Shields rhythm: Assess, Protect, Monitor. For this engagement, that translates into the following steps.

  1. Gap assessment. Under a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement, we measure your current practices against ISO/IEC 20000-1 and agree the scope.
  2. Design and documentation. We design the processes, policies and records the standard expects, sized to your organization.
  3. Implementation support. We help your teams define the service catalogue and service levels, and run incident, problem and change management to the standard.
  4. Internal audit. An independent internal audit checks readiness and evidence before any external assessment.
  5. Management review and readiness. We prepare leadership for the management review and your team for the external audit.

What You Receive

  • Gap assessment against ISO/IEC 20000-1.
  • Service catalogue and service level framework.
  • Documented service management processes.
  • Internal audit report and certification readiness plan.

Engagement & Investment

Every engagement is scoped individually. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your environment, the systems or controls in scope, and the timeline you need to work to. Rather than publish figures that rarely fit a specific situation, we prepare a written proposal with a clear fee and schedule once your scope is understood.

Tell us about your organization and the deadline you are working toward, and we will return a tailored proposal within five business days, following a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need ITIL to use ISO/IEC 20000-1?

No, but ITIL practices fit naturally. The standard defines what is required; ITIL offers proven ways to do it.

Is it only for IT service providers?

No. Internal IT departments use it as well, to manage IT services for the business.

Do you issue the certificate?

No. Certificates are issued by accredited certification bodies. We prepare you so that the certification audit goes smoothly, and we can help you choose a certification body.

Will the report be available in Arabic?

Yes. Reports, the executive summary, and the readout session are available in both Arabic and English at no additional cost.
