ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Information security controls
The ISO 27002 / Annex Controls section of ISO 27001 has changed in 2022. I am a big fan of Annex A but it is good to see that it is having a timely refresh and update. It has been some time since it was last updated. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 27002:2013 +Corr 1:2014 +Corr2:2015), which has been technically revised.
What are the main changes to ISO 27002?
- They have removed the term ‘Code of Practice’
- The structure of the document has changed
- Some controls have been merged, some deleted and new controls have been introduced.
The controls have now been structured into 4 domains
- Oraganisational Controls
- People Controls
- Physical Controls
- Technological Controls
ISO 27001 Template Toolkit
The ISO 27001 Template Toolkit includes the updates to the new standard giving you both versions for backward compatibility.
The hard work has been done for you.
The ISO 27001 Toolkit gives you all the pre populated, pre written information security policies and the complete information security management system to hit the ground running.
