I am Stuart Barker the ISO 27001 Ninja and as young and handsome as I no doubt look I have been doing information security for over 20 years. And look, I am still smiling. 🙂
I don’t know why you in particular want an ISO 27001 topic specific Access Control Policy Template that meets ISO 27001, SOC2, PCIDSS but I do know you thought, I am not paying an expensive consultant for this, there must be something on the internet I can download.
Well you are in luck.There is.
Look, I know you wanted something for free. But free is free for a reason. I built this template to get the job done and hundreds of people agree it does.
You can download it, go get on with your day or head back to Google and keep searching.

ISO 27001 Access Control Policy Template FAQs

The ISO 27001 Access Control Policy Template is in Microsoft Word format
No. The ISO 27001 Access Control Policy Template is designed to be easy to implement and easy to configure. It comes with an easy to follow step by step guide. You are provided with a free hour of training if you need it.
It depends on what you are trying to achieve. It works as a stand alone policy but is designed to be part of a pack of information security policies that meet the needs of your business. We sell The ISO 27001 Policy Template Bundle at a significant discount.
The policy is sold stand alone as it serves a specific purpose and often people just want this one policy. When you deploy information security policies into your organisation you may not need all of the policies so we make them available individually. The benefits of having individual policies are: 1. They can be shared only with the people that need the information 2. They can be allocated an owner to update them 3. You can deploy only the policies you need. In addition the 2022 update to the ISO 27001 standard explicitly calls out having a headline policy and subordinate policies.
We estimate that on average it will take you less than 1 hour. The templates require information that you know so there is nothing complicated.
Payments are handled entirely through Stripe. They are very secure. We do not handle the payment transaction. We do not store, process or transmit your card holder data.
No, we do not support portals. There are too many downsides to portals from ongoing costs, training, ambiguity on where the data is and how secure it is … the list is endless. The disadvantages far out way any benefits for what is a glorified document storage solution akin to One Drive or Dropbox. For small business and professionals we do not see any benefit in portals.
The ISO 27001 Access Control Policy Template is an ISO 27001:2022 topic specific policy that documents the guidelines an organisation follows to grant the right access to the right data and resources.
The purpose of the ISO 27001 Access Control Policy Template is to ensure the correct access to the correct information and resources by the correct people. It addresses threats, risks and incidents that could be caused by granting the people access to information resources that they should not have access to.
ISO 27001:2022 defines the ISO 27001 Access Control Policy as: The policy sets out what the organisation will do to ensure the correct access to systems and data. It is a statement of what is to be done but not how to do it. How to do it is covered in the access control process.
There are several that apply but the main ones are:
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 5.15 Access Control
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 5.16 Identity Management
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 5.17 Authentication Information
