ISO 27002

Also: ISO/IEC 27002:2022

Companion standard to ISO 27001 that fleshes out the 93 Annex A controls. Not certifiable, but the practical handbook for implementation.

ISO 27002:2022 groups 93 controls across four themes: 37 organisational, 8 people, 14 physical, 34 technological. Each control has purpose, guidance and supplementary notes.

Compared to the previous 27002:2013, significantly consolidated (from 114 to 93 controls) and extended with new topics: threat intelligence, information security for cloud services, ICT readiness for business continuity, physical security monitoring, configuration management, data leakage prevention, web filtering, secure coding.

Application: ISO 27002 serves as a quarry for ISMS implementation, audit preparation and vendor reviews.
