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.
I am Stuart Barker the ISO27001 Ninja and this is everything you need to know about the ISO27002 2022 update.
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
