Background

About ISO/IEC 37001:2016

International Assessment Bureau is an independent certification body based in the UK. ISO/IEC 37001:2016 provides a framework and requirements to help organisations of any size or sector establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a system to prevent, detect and address bribery, built around a cycle of policy, risk assessment, controls, training and monitoring.

ISO itself issues no certification or conformity test directly - certification against ISO/IEC 37001:2016 is carried out by certification bodies such as International Assessment Bureau. This is especially relevant for organisations operating in high-risk countries or industries, where independent certification helps demonstrate ethical commitment and build trust with customers, partners and stakeholders.
