What is Clause 8 about?
In the context of ISO management systems, Clause 8 refers to the "Operation" clause. This clause is a
fundamental part of ISO management system standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and
others.

The purpose of Clause 8 - Operation is to provide guidelines and requirements for effectively
implementing the processes and activities necessary to achieve the organization's objectives and deliver
the products or services in line with its policies and plans.

1. Operational Planning
2. Resource Management
3. Product or Service Provision
4. Control of Processes, Products, and Services
5. Emergency Preparedness and Response
6. Performance Evaluation
7. Improvement

In the context of ISO management systems, Clause 8 refers to the "Operation"


clause. This clause is a fundamental part of ISO management system standards,
such as ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental
Management System), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management
System), and others.

The purpose of Clause 8 - Operation is to provide guidelines and requirements


for effectively implementing the processes and activities necessary to achieve the
organization's objectives and deliver the products or services in line with its
policies and plans.

Clause 8 typically covers a range of topics related to the day-to-day operations of


an organization and its management system. The specific content may vary
depending on the type of management system, but some common themes
include:

1. Operational Planning: This involves defining processes and resources needed


to achieve the organization's goals. It includes considerations for identifying risks,
opportunities, and potential impacts on quality, environment, health and safety,

5
or other relevant aspects.

2. Resource Management: Ensuring that the necessary resources (human,


infrastructure, technology, etc.) are available and allocated appropriately to
support the operation of the management system and the organization's overall
objectives.

3. Product or Service Provision: This covers the processes involved in creating,


producing, or delivering the organization's products or services while adhering to
specified requirements, including quality, environmental, and safety criteria.

4. Control of Processes, Products, and Services: Implementing controls to ensure


that processes and products/services meet defined standards and requirements.
This may involve inspections, testing, monitoring, and corrective actions.

5. Emergency Preparedness and Response: Establishing plans and procedures to


handle potential emergencies or unexpected situations that could impact the
organization's operations, safety, or environment.

6. Performance Evaluation: Monitoring, measuring, and analysing relevant data to


assess the performance of processes, products, and services against established
objectives and criteria.

7. Improvement: Identifying opportunities for improvement and taking corrective


and preventive actions as necessary to enhance the organization's operations and
management system.

In essence, Clause 8 - Operation guides organizations on how to execute their


plans, deliver their products/services, and maintain the effectiveness of their
management system in line with the defined requirements and policies. It
emphasizes the practical implementation of the management system standards,
helping organizations to achieve consistent and desirable outcomes while
managing risks and opportunities.

explanation of these clauses:

1. Clause 8.1 - Operational Planning and Control:


This clause focuses on the operational aspects of managing information security within
an organization. It emphasizes the need to establish processes and controls that ensure
information security requirements are met while carrying out daily operations.

Key points covered in this clause include:

• Risk Assessment and Treatment: Organizations must continue to assess risks to their
information assets and implement appropriate measures to manage and mitigate
these risks.

• Selection of Controls: Based on the risk assessment, organizations need to select and
implement appropriate security controls from the ISO 27001 Annex A, which provides
a comprehensive set of controls addressing various aspects of information security.

19
• Documentation of Controls: The controls selected for implementation must be
documented, along with the procedures and guidelines for their effective use.

2. Clause 8.2 - Information Security Risk Assessment:


This clause centres on the ongoing process of assessing and managing information
security risks. It's a critical component of the ISMS as it helps organizations proactively
identify potential vulnerabilities and threats.

Key aspects covered in this clause include:

• Risk Assessment Process: Organizations need to establish a structured process to


identify, assess, and prioritize information security risks.

• Risk Treatment: Based on the risk assessment results, organizations must decide on
appropriate risk treatment strategies, which may involve avoiding, mitigating,
transferring, or accepting risks.

• Review and Iteration: The risk assessment process should be reviewed and updated
regularly to account for changes in the organization's context and the evolving threat
landscape.

3. Clause 8.3 - Information Security risk treatment


This clause directs the organization to implement the information security risk treatment
plans that were defined in clause 6.1.3.

Key point covered in this clause include:

• During the operation of the ISMS, whenever the risk assessment is updated, the
organization then applies the risk treatment consistent with clause 6.1.3 (information
security risk treatment) and updates the risk treatment plan. Then the risk treatment
plan is again implemented.

• The information security risk treatment process should be performed after each
iteration of the security assessment process in clause 8.2 or when the implementation
f the risk treatment plan or parts of it fails.

These clauses collectively guide organizations in establishing effective information


security management systems, which are crucial in protecting sensitive information from
unauthorized access, breaches, and other security threats.
