Chapter 3.3 · ISO 27001

Two Lessons. The first explains what ISO 27001 actually certifies: a management system, not a state of being secure. The second covers the Annex A controls (each tied to the risk it reduces) and the journey to certification, which is the customer's actual requirement.

Objectives

  • Explain ISO 27001 as an ISMS, and why it is risk-driven by design.
  • Relate the Annex A controls to the risks they reduce, and describe the certification journey.
