We’re thrilled for the Dutch Police, which today, became the world’s first public sector organisation to gain ISO/IEC 19770-1 certification! It received its certificate today from Brand Compliance, the certification scheme auditor, after successfully meeting all requirements.
The Dutch Police’s Marc Goedhart, Audit Coordinator, and John Haenen, Software Asset Consultant, lead the project with support from Rosalie Kramer, IT-Sector Head.

At the ITAM Forum, we talk a lot about the ISO ITAM family of standards (ISO 19770). These standards, of which there are seven, are created by the ITAM Standards Committee, which has more than 175 members from 25+ countries. One of these standards is 19770-1. It specifies the requirements for an ITAM management system within the context of an organisation.

The 3rd edition of ISO/IEC 27002:2022 (Information Security Controls) was published earlier this year. This standard provides a reference set of generic information security controls, including implementation guidance.
2022 should be — will be — an exciting year for ITAM. When the ITAM Forum formed in 2020 it did so with the aim to elevate the ITAM profession. It promotes the impactful business benefits ITAM professionals deliver. It also aims to create – and be a caretaker of – the first, globally-recognised ISO 19770 certification scheme for organisations.

In September 2020, the voluntary group that creates the 19770 family of standards asked the ITAM community for feedback as it began developing guidance for how to implement ITAM. The group specifically wanted to know what guidance the world-wide ITAM community thought was needed. It was specifically interested in hearing from those not involved with ITAM standards. Thank you to everyone who provided suggestions.
