Informational The dark and dystopian world of the IAF

Not sure what the IAF is trying to accomplish, but apparently, they are engaged in using fear as a way to justify their existence. Ludicrous. If the IAF "leadership" believes this kind of negative, dark marketing campaign is the proper way to promote itself, they are much more clueless than I thought. An organization that is supposed to be on the top of the management system accreditation food chain should not be as somber as these videos portray. I wonder if organizations such as ANAB, UKAS, RvA and some other global accreditation bodies were consulted before this type of videos were released.

I quite liked the production! It is attention grabbing.

You are right, @Sidney Vianna that fear rarely sells. The question has to be about how far away from the cybercriminals do the processes have to be effective. That question points to the organisation, the CAB, the AB and to IAF.

If I think of accredited QMS certification I'm not impressed.

As for CSMS, I don't have enough experience tocomment.

The IAF is, for the most part, an incompetent organization. A coalition of willing AB's that has no teeth. Anyone who has dealt with Accreditation Bodies personnel know very well that, while they do have some very talented and professional people, they also have mediocre employees and incompetent staff.

There is a tremendous amount of factual evidence about IAF's ineptitude, in my opinion.

As one impacted on an almost daily basis no disagreement here (no pun intended)

Just more heavy-handed coercion from the "it's voluntary" types.
