Call for participants – ISO/IEC 19770-1 Certification
ITAM Forum are opening their doors to organisations wishing to certify against the ITAM standard, ISO/IEC 19770-1, for the first time.
Express your interest in ISO/IEC 19770-1 Certification here.
Two years in the making
In February 2020 ITAM Forum was a blank sheet of paper. We had two stated objectives, firstly to build a scheme for the standard and secondly to elevate the ITAM industry.
Thank you to all our Members, Patrons and Trustees for their support in getting us this far.
Until now the ITAM standard has been a useful reference for building an ITAM practice. Soon organisations across the globe will be able to measure their conformance in an independent, international, and uniform manner.
The scheme has been built with the kind support of nearly 100 volunteers who comprise our Committee of Experts. Our experts stem from 20 countries and 30+ industries – all with a common goal of bringing the standard to market.
If your organisation wants to explore certification, please express your interest using the form below and a member of the ITAM Forum team will be in touch to explain the next steps.

ISO/IEC 19770-1 Certification – Why get certified?
What value will certification bring? We asked the global ITAM community, and their top answers were as follows (In order of priority):
- Demonstrate good governance to internal stakeholders
- Demonstrate good governance to external stakeholders
- Elevate the reputation of ITAM teams
- Benchmark performance against industry peers
- Monitor and prevent risks in the future
We’re really excited to bring this certification scheme to market. If you have any questions please give me a shout.
Cheers, Martin
