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.

This blog is from Martin Thompson, the founder of the ITAM Forum.
At the end of March 2023 in Florida, the ITAM Forum held the first ISO/IEC 19770-1 Practitioner course.
This course is for anyone wanting to take either their own organization or their customer organization on a journey towards ISO/IEC 19770-1 certification. We developed this course in partnership with the BC Academy, the training arm of Brand Compliance (the auditor for the 19770-1 certification scheme).

In February 2023, Brand Compliance, in collaboration with ITAM Forum, issued the world’s first, two certificates for ISO/IEC 19770-1. This is a management system standard that focuses on the management of IT assets. The standard offers an overview of the different categories of IT assets and views these categories in a process-based way.
Yorick Heijink is the Lead Auditor at Brand Compliance for ISO/IEC 19770-1, 9001 and 27001. Prior to becoming a certification auditor, Yorick was a Product Manager and Project Manager within the IT services and consulting sector.
