Overview
Guardian Assessment Pvt Ltd provides ISO 37001:2025 Transition Certification services to organizations holding a valid ISO 37001:2016 Anti-Bribery Management System certification.
ISO 37001:2025 replaces ISO 37001:2016 and introduces updated requirements related to compliance culture, conflicts of interest, clarification of the anti-bribery function, and alignment with the harmonized structure. Organizations certified to the earlier version are required to transition to ISO 37001:2025 within the defined transition period to maintain certification validity.
As per IAF MD 30:2025 – Transition Requirements for ISO 37001:2025, the transition period ends on 28 February 2027. After this date, ISO 37001:2016 certificates will no longer be valid.
