ISO 27001 FAQ
ISO 27001 helps protect sensitive information, comply with regulations, and build trust with customers and partners. It helps your organization manage risk, protect data, and demonstrate a global standard for information security. Certification provides a competitive edge and often opens new market opportunities.
An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a set of policies, procedures, and controls to systematically manage information risks. It's the foundation of ISO 27001.
The certification timeline depends on your ISMS maturity and scope. With the right platform and support, many organizations achieve certification in 3-6 months.
ISO 27001 has 114 controls across 14 clauses and 35 control categories. Requirements span security policies, asset management, access control, incident management, and more.
Key steps: 1) Define ISMS scope 2) Perform risk assessment 3) Select controls 4) Document policies 5) Implement controls 6) Conduct training and internal audits 7) Certification audit
Both are popular security frameworks. ISO 27001 is globally recognized as an information security management standard, while SOC 2 is an audit framework often required in the U.S. for service organizations. The two can complement each other.
The standard was most recently updated in 2022, adding new controls and clarifications. Organizations should aim to align with ISO 27001:2022 for compliance.
They're the safeguards your organization implements to address identified risks. Annex A of ISO 27001:2022 lists 93 controls grouped by organizational, people, physical, and technological categories.
During each of the two years after initial certification, your certifying body checks sample controls to ensure you remain compliant. If nonconformities are found, you must address them promptly to maintain certification status.
ISO 27001 certificates are valid for 3 years. Surveillance audits are conducted in years 1 and 2 to verify ongoing compliance.
