United Kingdom Accreditation Service—the national body accrediting certification organisations.
UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) is the UK's national accreditation body, assessing and accrediting organisations that provide certification, testing, and inspection services. UKAS accreditation confirms that certification bodies are competent and operate to international standards. When obtaining certifications like ISO 27001, using a UKAS-accredited certification body ensures the certificate is credible and widely recognised.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
UKAS accreditation ensures your certification body is legitimate. Always verify certification bodies are UKAS accredited (or equivalent for non-UK bodies). This ensures your certificate will be recognised.
