ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Is an internationally recognized and accepted standard for the organization’s information security management.

 

The standard requires the adoption of a risk-based approach to assessing your information security arrangements and ensures that security measures that are the right fit for your organization can be prioritized, implemented and managed accordingly.

​

Once in place, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides a robust management framework that enables an organization to effectively review and continually improve the management of its information security arrangements. Within the standard, Annex A consists of 93 Information Security ‘controls’, the applicability of each to your organization needs to be assessed. These controls determine the way in which you can effectively manage the security of your systems and information. 

 

Information security is critical for both large and small organizations alike. An organization of any size has both legal obligations and organizational opportunities related to the use, storage and management of its data. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 recognizes that the risks posed to businesses in different industries and of different sizes will vary and the standard enables an organization to determine the level of risks within their own organization and to implement the controls necessary to them.
