What is ISO 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the world's most recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Published by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission, it provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information so that it remains secure.
The 2022 révision modernized the standard significantly, restructuring its Annex A from 114 controls in 14 domains to 93 controls organized under 4 themes: Organizational (37 controls), People (8 controls), Physical (14 controls), and Technological (34 controls). Eleven new controls were introduced addressing contemporary threats including threat intelligence, cloud security, data masking, data leakage prevention, monitoring activities, web filtering, and secure coding.
Certification requires an independent audit by an accredited certification body, covering both the management system (clauses 4-10) and the applicable Annex A controls. Organizations must demonstrate a risk-based approach, with a formal risk assessment, risk treatment plan, and Statement of Applicability (SoA). Surveillance audits occur annually, with full recertification every three years.
