Accreditation

Definition: official recognition that an organisation has the competence and impartiality to perform certification, testing, audits and inspections.

Within cyber and information security standards this usually refers to the accreditation a certifying body receives in order to be able to audit and certify that other organisations adhere to specific standards. For example an organisation needs to be IASME accredited in order to audit your organisation to award a Cyber Essentials certificate.
