ISO/IEC 27002: Information security controls guidance

Implementation guidance for the 93 controls referenced in ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A.

ISO/IEC 27002:2022 explains the purpose of each information security control and how to implement it, organised into organisational, people, physical and technological themes with attributes such as control type and cybersecurity concept. We use it to design controls that are proportionate and auditable.

Who it is for

  • Security teams implementing ISO 27001
  • Organisations benchmarking security controls

What you gain

  • Practical guidance on each control
  • Attributes that help map to NIST CSF and other frameworks

How we help you apply it

  1. Maturity review

    Assess current practice against the guidance and agree what good looks like for your organisation.

  2. Framework design

    Translate the principles into a practical framework, roles and tools that fit your existing management systems.

  3. Embedding

    Workshops and coaching so teams apply the framework in day-to-day decisions.

  4. Review and reporting

    Periodic reviews and reporting that show progress to leadership and stakeholders.

Can we certify to ISO 27002?
