What is ISO 27001:2022?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. The 2022 version introduced 11 new controls and reorganised Annex A into 4 themes (previously 14 clauses, now 4 themes with 93 controls).
