What Is ISO 27001:2022?

ISO 27001 (or ISO/IEC 27001:2022) is the standard which deals specifically with Information Security Management. From a practical standpoint, it provides a framework for making sure that information security risks are effectively managed and continuously improved:

• Provides a framework to design, implement, maintain and improve policies and procedures to manage identified security risks
• Promotes a continual improvement approach
• Helps you to systematically examine risks to your organisation’s security
• Provides a set of controls and measure for managing threats to your information assets.

How is ISO 27001:2022 different from the 2013 version?

ISO 27001:2022 introduces several changes to the management system and security controls of ISO 27001:2013, aiming to align the information security management system (ISMS) more closely with other ISO standards.

The key changes included adding the following:

• 4.2 c) Identify which interested party requirements must be addressed through the ISMS
• 6.3 Implement changes to the ISMS in a planned manner
• 8.1 There are new requirements for defining criteria for security processes and implementing processes based on those criteria
• 9.3.2 c) Ensure inputs from interested parties focus on their needs, expectations, and relevance to the ISMS.

There are 11 new security controls, 57 controls have been merged, one has been split, and 23 have been renamed. The newly introduced security controls are:

• A.5.7 Threat intelligence
• A.5.23 Information security for use of cloud services
• A.5.30 ICT readiness for business continuity
• A.7.4 Physical security monitoring
• A.8.9 Configuration management
• A.8.10 Information deletion
• A.8.11 Data masking
• A.8.12 Data leakage prevention
• A.8.16 Monitoring activities
• A.8.23 Web filtering
• A.8.28 Secure coding.

When do I need to transition to ISO 27001:2022?

The transition period to ISO 27001:2022 spans three years, starting from 31 October 2022. By 31 October 2025, companies must comply with the revised standard to maintain certification, as ISO 27001:2013 will no longer be valid.

Starting from October 31, 2023, it is no longer possible to obtain certifications under the 2013 version of ISO 27001. All audits conducted after this date will be based solely on the requirements of the 2022 version of the standard.

While there is still time until the transition deadline, it is recommended to start the process earlier rather than later. Doing so provides ample time for preparation, the implementation of necessary changes, employee training, and addressing any challenges.

What are the benefits of ISO 27001?

Whilst information security is big business for government departments and the world’s biggest companies, SME’s are equally vulnerable. As more organisational data is moved into the electronic and online environment, it’s important to manage your data loss and theft risks. Our experienced ISO 27001 consulting services assist businesses to take care of essential data and demonstrate that they take security threats seriously while enhancing best practice.
