No, not everyone currently needs to have an ISO 27001 certification. But there is a strong indication that some organizations covered by NIS2 will have management systems work as a requirement.
In order to be certified, it is required that you work with information security in a systematic way and meet the requirements set by ISO 27001. The word certification itself means approved audit. In order to be certified, it is then required that you first undergo a certification audit.
The need for a management system for information security (LIS) often comes in the form of a requirement from a supplier, subcontractor, partner, authority or regulation.
ISO 27001 gives the organization a standardized way of working with safety. In other words, the organization begins to work from a best-practice way that is developed by IT and information security experts on how best to work with security in their organization.
It is absolutely possible to work towards a certification without necessarily being certified. What you gain from such work is increased security that permeates all layers of the organization.
