ISO/IEC 27002 2022 Standard

The ISO/IEC 27002:2022 standard

ISO 27002:2022 is an international standard designed for organizations of all types and sizes. It establishes the guidelines and general principles for initiating, implementing, maintaining, and improving information security management in an organization and supports the implementation of an ISMS based on the requirements of ISO 27001.

What are the differences between the 2013 and 2022 editions of ISO/IEC 27002?

The 2022 edition of the Standard cancels and replaces the previous edition (ISO/IEC 27002:2013). It has been technically revised and incorporates the Technical Corrigenda ISO/IEC 27002:2013/Cor. 1:2014 and ISO/IEC 27002:2013/Cor. 2:2015.

The main changes are:

• The title has been modified.
• The structure of the document has been changed, presenting the controls using a simple taxonomy and associated attributes.
• Some controls have been merged and several new controls have been introduced. Mapping between the two versions can be found in Annex B of the Standard.
