What is the difference between a minor and major nonconformity?

A minor nonconformity is a single or non-critical failure of the ISMS, whereas a major nonconformity is a more systematic or critical failure of a process or key elements of the management system.  If your organisation is attempting to gain third-party certification, a major nonconformity may prevent this certification from being granted.  However, once your organisation has achieved certification a finding of this nature may result in the suspension of your certification in certain circumstances.

We’d like to thank our assessor for his usual thorough and fully detailed attention to our system. Our ISMS is being spoken about in much awe and reverence within the wider organisation and I can honestly say that, without his support and wisdom over the last few years, this would not be happening.
