The 2022 edition keeps Clauses 4 to 10 as mandatory requirements, aligns the text with the harmonized management-system structure, and uses Annex A as the reference set for the current 93-control model aligned to ISO/IEC 27002:2022. This is practical implementation guidance, not legal advice. Validate final control and certification decisions against the standard, your accredited certification body, and your operating context. [Jump to guides](#topics) ## What this artifact helps you do - **Define a defensible ISMS scope**: Set boundaries, interested parties, interfaces, and dependencies so risk decisions and evidence stay consistent. - **Build a credible SoA and treatment plan**: Link risk treatment choices to Annex A comparison, implementation status, and residual risk acceptance. - **Operate the ISMS as a system**: Keep monitoring, internal audit, management review, and corrective action running on a repeatable cadence. By Sorena AI | Updated 2026 | No signup required ### Quick start *ISO 27001* - **Current edition**: Third edition published in October 2022, with Amendment 1 issued in 2024 and the 2013 transition period now closed. - **Reference controls**: Annex A now points to the 93-control reference structure aligned to ISO/IEC 27002:2022. - **Certification reality**: Auditors sample traceability, not just documents: scope, risk method, SoA, control evidence, audit results, and management review. ISO 27001 works when scope, risk criteria, control decisions, and review outputs stay aligned as the business changes. | Value | Metric | | --- | --- | | 6 | Guides | | 2022 | Edition | | 93 | Annex A refs | | 4 to 10 | Mandatory clauses | **Key highlights:** Define scope | Build SoA | Run reviews ## Topic Guides - [ISO 27001 Audit Readiness](/artifacts/global/iso-27001/audit-readiness.md): Prepare for ISO/IEC 27001 audits with a structured evidence pack, SoA traceability, internal audit and management review outputs. - [ISO 27001 Compliance Playbook](/artifacts/global/iso-27001/compliance.md): Implement ISO/IEC 27001:2022 with a practical ISMS playbook for scope, risk assessment, risk treatment, Statement of Applicability, Annex A alignment. - [ISO 27001 FAQ](/artifacts/global/iso-27001/faq.md): Clear answers to common ISO/IEC 27001:2022 questions on the Statement of Applicability, Annex A, risk treatment, certification, audit evidence. - [ISO 27001 Implementation Roadmap](/artifacts/global/iso-27001/implementation-roadmap.md): A practical ISO/IEC 27001:2022 implementation roadmap with phases, gates, scope decisions, risk and SoA milestones, control rollout priorities. - [ISO 27001 Requirements and Evidence](/artifacts/global/iso-27001/requirements.md): Understand ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements across Clauses 4 to 10, Annex A, risk treatment, and the Statement of Applicability. - [ISO 27001 vs NIS2](/artifacts/global/iso-27001/iso-27001-vs-nis2.md): See how ISO/IEC 27001:2022 supports NIS2 cybersecurity governance and where NIS2 adds legal obligations for incident reporting, supervision. ## Explore ISO 27001 guides *Guides* Use these subpages for compliance, requirements, implementation roadmap, audit readiness, FAQ, and ISO 27001 vs NIS2 mapping. ## How to run an ISMS that holds up *Navigation* Use the guides to translate ISO/IEC 27001 into owned decisions, controlled documentation, measurable controls, and evidence that remains usable after audits, incidents, and organizational change. *Next step* ## Turn ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS implementation hub into an operational assessment workflow ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS implementation hub should be the shared entry point for your team. Route execution into Assessment Autopilot for live work and into SSOT when the artifact needs deeper research, evidence governance, or supporting analysis. - Start from ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS implementation hub and route the work by entity, product, team, or control owner. - Use Assessment Autopilot to turn the guidance into owned tasks, evidence requests, and review checkpoints. - Use SSOT to keep documents, evidence, and control records in one governed system. - Move from artifact reading to accountable execution without rebuilding the guidance in separate files. - [Open Assessment Autopilot](/solutions/assessment.md): Turn the guidance into owned tasks, evidence requests, and review checkpoints for ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS implementation hub. - [Open SSOT](/solutions/ssot.md): Keep documents, evidence, and control records in one governed system from the same artifact. - [Talk through ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS implementation hub](/contact.md): Review your current process, evidence model, and next steps for ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS implementation hub. --- [Privacy Policy](https://www.sorena.io/privacy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.sorena.io/terms-of-use) | [DMCA](https://www.sorena.io/dmca) | [About Us](https://www.sorena.io/about-us) (c) 2026 Sorena AB (559573-7338).
