What is ISO 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS). It requires organizations to define scope, assess information security risks, select controls, and continually improve. The 2022 version includes 93 Annex A controls grouped into four themes: organizational, people, physical and technological.
Certification is granted by an accredited certification body after a two-stage audit. Skytech Enterprise prepares you for certification; we do not issue certificates.

What changed in ISO 27001:2022?

What is a Statement of Applicability?

Can we combine ISO 27001 with SOC 2?
Yes. Most controls overlap, so a single programme can produce evidence for both.
