ISO 27001 Toolkit Business Edition

ISO 27001:2022 requires organisations to define what, when, who, and how they communicate about information security. Our Communication Plan Template provides the necessary framework to ensure you meet Clause 7.4 requirements and keep stakeholders informed.

Authored by ISO 27001 Lead Auditor Stuart Barker, this Excel-based template helps you document internal and external communications, ensuring your security awareness activities are consistent, recorded, and audit-ready.

  • Clause 7.4 Compliant: Maps directly to ISO 27001 communication requirements.
  • Stakeholder Management: Includes examples for communicating with employees, vendors, and clients.
  • Audit Evidence: A structured format that auditors rely on as proof of active ISMS management.

ISO 27001 certification isn’t just about technical controls; it’s about culture. Clause 7.4 requires that you proactively manage communications about your Information Security Management System (ISMS). If you cannot show auditors that you have communicated security expectations to the right people at the right time, you are at risk of a non-conformity.

Why You Need a Communication Plan

A formal communication plan removes ambiguity. It ensures that critical security messages like policy updates, incident reports, and awareness campaigns reach the intended audience effectively. Our template allows you to:

  • Identify Stakeholders: Determine who needs to know what and when.
  • Standardise Messaging: Ensure consistent communication across your organisation.
  • Provide Audit Trails: Record communication activity as evidence of an operational ISMS.
