ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is an internationally recognized standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a structured framework to protect sensitive information through risk management, governance, and compliance. One of the key updates in the 2022 revision is the overhaul of Annex A, which outlines security controls essential for mitigating information security risks.
Annex A has been refined to align with modern security challenges, reducing the number of controls from 114 to 93. These controls are now grouped into four categories: organizational, people, physical, and technological. The restructuring enhances clarity and ensures a more effective implementation of security measures within organizations.
The revised framework emphasizes adaptability, encouraging organizations to assess their unique risk environments and apply relevant controls accordingly. Rather than a rigid checklist, Annex A serves as a flexible reference for tailoring security strategies to specific business needs, helping organizations build resilience against evolving threats.
Organizations adopting ISO/IEC 27001:2022 must update their security policies and procedures to reflect these changes. By integrating the revised Annex A controls, they can enhance their information security posture, meet compliance requirements, and safeguard critical data more efficiently in an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.
