ISO/IEC - 27001:2022

Understanding risks and managing security controls

The ISO 27001 standard (Information Security Management System) sets out a process for achieving maturity in security governance. This makes it possible to master the fundamental aspects: - Knowledge of risks and those associated with suppliers - Compliance with external constraints (legal, regulatory) and internal constraints (security policy, contractual requirements) - Monitoring the implementation of safety action plans - Monitoring the effectiveness of security controls and management processes - The ability to report on security status and hold stakeholders accountable By implementing an organization dedicated to cybersecurity management, security governance enables progressive and continuous improvement in security levels and risk control. Establishing compliance with ISO 27001 makes it possible to identify areas for improving security, the priority of which is defined by a risk-based approach. In addition, because it is traceable and demonstrable (auditability is a prerequisite for certification), ISO 27001 makes it quick and easy to respond to compliance audits, for which the company may often be consulted.

A risk-based approach to governance and continuous improvement

Is ISO 27001 mandatory or voluntary?

The implementation of an ISO 27001 approach and its certification is a voluntary process, but if it ensures an increase in the level of security, it makes it possible to provide a level of assurance to the management and business line managers, customers and other external stakeholders, on the basis of a commonly used and known standard. However, many regulations require the implementation of a cybersecurity strategy without naming a specific approach. The application of ISO 27001, through its general founding principles, generally fully meets these requirements.

What impact does it have on organizations?

The application of an ISO 27001 approach makes it possible to improve the organization’s structure, by appointing a cybersecurity manager and a compliance manager, who are the guardians of the best guidelines. It also imposes a recurring framework of controls and reports, to provide the appropriate information for relevant decision-making on the areas for improving security. Finally, it requires the ability to demonstrate the implementation and effectiveness of security-related actions, by means of traceability through documented information.

4 fundamental principles in ISO 27001

Risk-based approach:

Introduction The information security management system preserves the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information by applying a risk management process and gives confidence to interested parties that risks are adequately managed.

Auditability:

This document can be used by internal and external parties to assess the organization's ability to meet the organization’s own information security requirements.

Continuous Improvement:

The organization shall continually improve the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the information security management system.

Recurring control:

The organization shall conduct internal audits at planned intervals to provide information on whether the information security management system: a) conforms to 1) the organization’s own requirements for its information security management system; 2) the requirements of this document; b) is effectively implemented and maintained.
