To give it its full title, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Information security management systems — Requirements’ is an international standard which was published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). The purpose of the Standard is provide the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) within the context of your organisation. This is the Standard organisations can certify against.
The current version of the Standard replaced the 2013 version on 25 October 2022 and is applicable to all organisations, irrespective of type, size or sector.
Our URM consultant was really thorough, genuinely helpful and contributed real value literally within the first few minutes of our session by pointing out some (not-so-obvious) details of the new version of ISO 27001 that we hadn't been aware of until then. He then proceeded with a very well-prepared run-through and explanation of the controls in scope for our upcoming internal audit. Definitely a highlight and overall, very positive experience for us!
