What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is one of the most widely recognised and internationally accepted information security standards.

It’s one of the few standards that uses a top-down, risk-based approach to evaluation. It identifies requirements and specifications for a comprehensive Information Security Management System.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is a part of the ISO 27000 family of standards, which are all related to information security.

ISO 27001 requires a company to have an information security management system, which means having a documented process for managing sensitive company information, HR records, intellectual property, financial data, and any information entrusted by third parties.

The standard focuses on systematically assessing security risks, implementing appropriate controls, and continuously monitoring and improving the system to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information across the organisation.
