ISÎ/IÅC 27001:2022 has been published

ISO has published the new version of ISO/IEC 27001 under the title "Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection – Information security management systems – Requirements". The standard provides requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information security management system. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 replaces the 2013 version and also 2014 and 2015 corrections.
 
What has changed?
The title, of course. The main part of ISO/IEC 27001, namely clauses 4 to 10 remain unchanged. These clauses include the scope, normative references, the context of the organization, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement.
Certain editorial corrections and changes have been made to harmonize performance in accordance with the ISO approach, namely:
  • Numbering has been restructured;
  • Requirements have been introduced to define the processes necessary to implement an ISMS and their interactions;
  • A specific requirement has been stated to name organizational roles, connected to information security in the structure of the organization;
  • A new clause 6.3 – Planning of changes has been added;
  • There is a new requirement for communication, as part of clause 7.4;
  • New requirements to establish criteria for operational processes and the implementation of process control have been added.
Important changes have been made to Annex A, in accordance with the changes made earlier this year in ISO/IEC 27002:2022. The structure has been changed. Controls have been decreased from 114 to 93, and have been divided into 4 groups, instead of the previous 14:
  • Organizational controls;
  • Controls for human resources management;
  • Controls connected to physical security;
  • Technological controls.
In the revised version of ISO 27001, 35 controls remain unchanged, 23 controls have been renamed, and 57 controls have been combined into 24. Only one control has been divided into two: Control 18.2.3 Review of Technical Compliance was divided into: 8.8 – Management of Technical Vulnerabilities and 5.3.6 Compliance to Policies and Standards for Information Security. 11 new controls have been added:
  1. Threat intelligence
  2. Monitoring of physical security
  3. Data masking
  4. Information security for use of cloud services
  5. Monitoring activities
  6. ICT readiness for business continuity
  7. Data leakage prevention
  8. Configuration management
  9. Web filtering
  10. Information deletion
  11. Secure coding.
Controls now have 5 types of attributes, in order to be categorized more easily:
  1. Control type (preventive, detective, corrective)
  2. Information security properties (confidentiality, integrity, availability)
  3. Cybersecurity concepts (identify, protect, detect, respond, recover)
  4. Operational capabilities (governance, asset management, etc.)
  5. Security domains (governance and ecosystem, protection, defense, resilience)
 
What comes next?
Organizations planning initial certification should develop an Information security management system, taking into account the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Organizations continuing their certification should plan a transition to the new version within 3 years. After October, 2025 audits for initial certification and recertification in accordance to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 are not going to be conducted.
