What Is ISO/IEC 27002?

ISO/IEC27002 is an international standard that provides guidelines for selecting and implementing information security controls and best practices for managing information security risks. It is applicable to organizations of all sizes and industries. The standard helps organizations develop information security management practices that are tailored to their specific needs, protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

Originally published in 2005 and updated in 2013, ISO/IEC27002 was revised again in 2022. The updated version introduces a list of widely used information security controls, along with detailed guidelines for their implementation. The standard categorizes these controls into four main areas: organizational (Clause 5), people (Clause 6), physical (Clause 7), and technological (Clause 8).
