Cyver core supports the international standard for managing information security, ISO/IEC 27001, including both the earlier 2013 version and the latest, highly relevant 2022 revision.
What is ISO/IEC 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's best-known standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It defines the formal requirements an ISMS must meet. The standard provides comprehensive guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS for companies of any size and sector.
Conformity with ISO/IEC 27001 demonstrates that an organization has implemented a systematic, risk-based approach to managing the security of data it owns or handles. This system respects the best practices and principles enshrined in this International Standard.
Why is ISO/IEC 27001 Important?
With cybercrime and new threats constantly emerging, managing cyber risks can seem daunting. ISO/IEC 27001 helps organizations become risk-aware and proactively identify and address weaknesses. It promotes a holistic approach to security, vetting people, policies, and technology. An ISMS implemented according to this standard is a foundational tool for risk management, cyber-resilience, and operational excellence.
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A Controls (Controls List)
The 2022 revision of the standard modernized the security controls (Annex A), organizing them into four main, simplified themes:
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A.5 | Organizational Controls | These controls relate to the overall structure, culture, and policies of the organization, as well as its risk management and Information Security Management System (ISMS). |
| A.6 | People Controls | These controls focus on the people who have access to the organization's information assets, including their training, awareness, and security responsibilities. |
| A.7 | Physical Controls | These controls protect the physical assets of the organization, such as its buildings, equipment, data storage facilities, and other infrastructure components. |
| A.8 | Technological Controls | These controls protect the organization's information systems and networks, including its software, hardware, and data encryption techniques. |
