ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS)
Independent ISO 37001 certification that shows your organization has effective controls to prevent, detect and respond to bribery.
About This Service
ISO 37001 is the international standard for anti-bribery management systems (ABMS). It specifies requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, reviewing and improving a management system that helps an organization prevent, detect and respond to bribery. The latest edition is ISO 37001:2025.
The standard addresses bribery in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors: bribery by the organization, by its personnel or business associates acting on its behalf, and bribery of the organization. Key requirements include an anti-bribery policy, leadership and commitment from top management, an anti-bribery compliance function, bribery risk assessment, due diligence on transactions, projects, business associates and personnel, financial and non-financial controls, controls over gifts, hospitality and donations, training and awareness, and procedures for raising concerns and investigating suspected bribery.
ISO 37001 can be used by any organization, large or small, in any sector and in any country. It shares the common structure of other ISO management system standards, so it can be integrated with ISO 9001, ISO 37301 or other systems you already operate.
Certification cannot guarantee that bribery will never occur, but certification by PT TSI Sertifikasi Internasional gives regulators, customers, business partners and the public independent assurance that your organization has implemented reasonable and proportionate anti-bribery measures.

Frequently Asked Questions
ISO 37001 is the international standard for anti-bribery management systems. It sets requirements for the policies, controls and procedures that help an organization prevent, detect and respond to bribery, and it can be certified by an independent certification body such as TSI.
Any organization, public or private, large or small, can implement and certify ISO 37001. It is especially relevant for state-owned enterprises, government institutions, companies involved in tenders and procurement, and organizations in higher-risk sectors or that rely on third-party business associates. Some clients and regulators ask for it as a condition of doing business.
The timeline depends on the size of your organization, the number of sites, the complexity of your bribery risks and how far your anti-bribery management system is already implemented. Before the Stage 2 audit, the system should be in operation, with an internal audit and management review already carried out. TSI will set out the audit plan in your quotation.
An ISO 37001 certificate is valid for three years from the date of issue. During this period, surveillance audits are carried out annually to verify that you still meet the requirements, and a recertification audit is needed before the three-year validity period ends.
Typically: the scope and context of your anti-bribery management system, the anti-bribery policy, the bribery risk assessment, the appointment of the anti-bribery compliance function, procedures for due diligence, gifts and hospitality, conflicts of interest, whistleblowing and investigations, training records, internal audit results and management review minutes.
