Frequently asked questions

Is ISO 37001:2016 still valid?

No. ISO 37001:2025 has replaced ISO 37001:2016 and its 2024 amendment, both now withdrawn. A system built on the 2016 edition must be reviewed; the gap analysis workshop identifies what needs to be reworked.

Does the course lead to ISO 37001 certification?

No. It prepares the implementation of the system and the gap analysis. Certification is issued by a certification body following its own audit.

Can ISO 37001 be integrated into an existing ISO 9001 system?

Yes. ISO 37001:2025 follows the same harmonised structure as the other management system standards. Policy, management review, internal audit and document control can be shared; only the measures specific to bribery are added.

Who should attend?

Management, the compliance or legal manager, purchasing, finance and sales. Bribery risks often concentrate in purchasing, sales and dealings with public authorities: these functions should be represented.
