Understanding the ISO 20000 Assessment Process

ISO 20000 is the international standard for service management. Part 1 of the ISO 20000 standard lays out a specification for a service management system (SMS). Part 2 provides guidance on SMS implementation. On this page you’ll find information on the ISO 20000 standard itself, as well as relevant books, training and resources.

enforces a measurable level of effectiveness and a culture of continual improvement by enabling service providers to monitor, measure and review their service management processes and services;

drives down the costs of conformance to a multitude of regulations, including the PCI DSS and Sarbanes-Oxley;

helps leverage ITIL practices to optimise resources and processes.

ISO 20000

What is ISO 20000?

ISO 20000, often referred to simply as ISO 20000, is the international IT Service Management standard that enables IT organisations (whether in-house, outsourced or external) to ensure that their IT service management processes are aligned both with the needs of the business and with international best practice. ISO 20000 helps organisations benchmark how they deliver managed services, measure service levels, and assess their performance. It is broadly aligned with, and draws strongly on, ITIL®.
