Information security documentation under ISO 27001

Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your organisation’s information assets is critical – especially if you process personal data and must comply with laws such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

The international standard for information security management, ISO 27001 is a globally recognised framework for creating an ISMS.

Whether you pursue certification or not, the Standard requires you to select and implement security controls, informed by regular risk assessment as part of a process of continual improvement.

Annex A of the Standard lists 114 security controls, but you can use alternatives. These all must be documented, as must the policies and procedures you implement.

One of the mandatory documents is the information security policy. It defines top management direction for information security following your business requirements and information security objectives, relevant laws and regulations, and the needs and expectations of interested parties.

If you are unsure how to interpret ISO 27001’s requirements, our customisable information security policy can help.
