DIN 77200 Certification: Your Answer to Growing Security Needs

In light of increasing security threats in an increasingly complex world, the need for robust security measures is unavoidable. In Germany, where the protection of citizens and infrastructure is a top priority, DIN 77200 certification provides companies with a clear roadmap for implementing proven security practices. This certification confirms that a company meets the required standards to effectively manage risks and thereby strengthen the trust of customers and partners. In a time when security is more in focus than ever, DIN 77200 is a crucial step for companies operating in this critical field.

Pre-Audit (Optional)

The pre-audit offers you the opportunity to check in advance whether your security management system complies with DIN 77200 requirements and whether your company is ready for certification.

This one-day, voluntary audit is crucial for identifying potential weaknesses early and effectively addressing them, thereby minimizing the risk of non-compliance during the actual certification.

Certification Audit (Stage 1 and Stage 2)

The certification audit is divided into two phases: system analysis (Stage 1) and practical implementation (Stage 2).

Stage 1 - System Analysis: In this part of the audit, we review:

  • The documentation of the management system
  • Site-specific conditions
  • The customer's understanding of the standards
  • The scope of certification
  • Applicable legal and regulatory requirements
  • Conduct of internal audits and management reviews
  • Availability of resources for the Stage 2 audit
  • Readiness for the Stage 2 audit

Stage 2 - Practical Implementation: In this phase, it is checked whether:

  • The organization meets the standard requirements
  • The management system is effective
  • All relevant legal, regulatory, and customer-specific requirements are met

 

Certificate Issuance

As part of a technical review by the PIAQ Certification Committee, it is determined whether the audit was conducted properly, whether all required documents are complete, and whether it has been shown that the standard requirements for the management system are adequately met. Only then can the certificate be issued.

The issued certificate is valid for three years. However, an annual surveillance audit confirms the maintenance of the certificate.

Surveillance Audit 1

To ensure continuous compliance with certification standards and confirm the effectiveness of the management system, two surveillance audits are conducted in the following two years after the certificate issuance.

The first surveillance audit takes place nine months after the certificate issuance date.

The first surveillance audit ensures that the organization continues to meet the established requirements and that the implemented systems and processes remain effective after the initial certification.

Surveillance Audit 2

The second surveillance audit takes place 12 months after the first surveillance audit.

The second surveillance audit ensures that the organization continues to meet the established requirements and that the implemented systems and processes remain effective after the initial certification.

Recertification

To renew your certificate after three years, a re-certification audit is required. This usually takes place four months before the certificate's expiration date and is similar in scope to the Stage 2 audit.

With recertification, a new certification process begins. Upon successful certification, a new certificate is issued.

The issued certificate is valid for three years. However, an annual surveillance audit confirms the maintenance of the certificate.
