ISO 27001 Certification with 2-Year Surveillance Audit by TÜV – Overview
When an organization gets ISO/IEC 27001 certification from TÜV (TÜV SÜD / TÜV Rheinland / TÜV Nord), the certification is typically valid for 3 years, and includes annual surveillance audits to ensure ongoing compliance.
If you specifically want 2-Year Surveillance Audit, it generally means:
✅ Year 0 – Initial Certification Audit
This includes:
-
Stage 1 Audit: Documentation review, ISMS readiness check
-
Stage 2 Audit: Detailed assessment of implemented controls
After passing Stage 1 & 2, your organization receives the ISO 27001 Certificate issued by TÜV.
Surveillance Audit Cycle (2 Years)
TÜV will conduct surveillance audits to verify:
-
ISMS is implemented and operating effectively
-
Mandatory documents & controls are maintained
-
Internal audits & management reviews are completed
-
Corrective actions are closed
-
No major non-conformities exist
Surveillance schedule typically looks like:
📌 Year 1 – Surveillance Audit 1
-
Review of ISMS operations
-
Sampling of Annex A controls
-
Risk assessment updates
-
Evidence verification
📌 Year 2 – Surveillance Audit 2
-
Continuous improvement review
-
Follow-up on any previous NCs
-
Additional controls sampling
-
Operational and security incidents review
After these two surveillance audits, the certificate remains valid through year 3.
Year 3 – Recertification Audit (Not included in 2-year surveillance package)
If you want to maintain certification, TÜV will perform a recertification audit to renew the certificate for the next 3 years.
