ISO/IEC 27001

What is ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides organizations with a systematic framework to protect sensitive data, manage information security risks, and build digital trust.

Our ISO/IEC 27001 training courses and certifications equip you with practical, in-demand skills to safeguard information, enhance compliance, and advance your career in information security.

Why is ISO/IEC 27001 Important

Implementing ISO/IEC 27001 enables organizations to:

  • Preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
  • Apply a structured risk management process to identify and address security threats.
  • Ensure continual improvement of security policies, procedures, and operations.

Certified professionals demonstrate the ability to:

  • Support organizations in designing and implementing ISMS.
  • Integrate ISMS into business processes for measurable outcomes.

Promote a culture of information security and compliance.

ISO/IEC 27001 Requirements

The standard sets out several mandatory requirements for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an ISMS:

  • Context of the Organization – Identify internal/external issues and stakeholder expectations.
  • Leadership and Commitment – Ensure top management involvement and policy definition.
  • Risk Assessment & Treatment – Identify, evaluate, and mitigate security risks.
  • Support – Provide resources, training, and communication.
  • Operation – Implement ISMS processes and manage security incidents.
  • Performance Evaluation – Conduct internal audits and management reviews.

Continual Improvement – Drive ongoing enhancement of ISMS effectiveness

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A Controls

The 2022 revision introduced updates to address modern cybersecurity and privacy challenges. Annex A controls were streamlined from 114 (2013 version) to 93 controls, organized into four themes:

  • Organizational Controls – e.g., policies, incident management, supplier relationships.
  • People Controls – e.g., training, awareness, screening.
  • Physical Controls – e.g., secure areas, equipment protection.
  • Technological Controls – e.g., access control, encryption, monitoring.

Key differences between ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and 2022 include:

  • Expanded title: now covers information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection.
  • Streamlined and modernized terminology.

Reduced and restructured Annex A controls for clarity and applicability.
