The ISO 27001 Documents and Records Policy is a fundamental component of your Information Security Management System (ISMS). Whether you are preparing for ISO 27001, ISO 9001, or other regulatory standards, you must have a clear process for how information is created, stored, and updated.
This policy provides the administrative structure to ensure your team follows a consistent, auditable process for document management.

- Ensure Compliance: Meet the specific requirements for “documented information” outlined in ISO 27001:2022.
- Maintain Evidence: Define how long records are kept, protecting your business in the event of an audit.
