The ISO/IEC 27000 Family of Information Security Standards

The ISO/IEC 27000 family of mutually supporting information security standards (also known as the ISO 27000 series) is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to provide a globally recognised framework for best-practice information security management.

This page provides information about the ISO 27000 family of standards and the benefits they bring, a list of published and planned standards, and links to our webshop.


ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 2022 updates

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – the newest version of ISO 27001 – was published in October 2022.

Organisations that are certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 have a three-year transition period to make the necessary changes to their ISMS (information security management system).

For more information about ISO 27001:2022 and its companion standard, ISO 27002:2022, and what they mean for your organisation, please visit ISO 27001 and ISO 27002: 2022 updates

ISO standards development process

An ISO standard follows a six-step development process before publication, and at each stage is ascribed an appropriate abbreviation to denote its status:

  • Preliminary stage:
    PWI (Preliminary Work Item) – Initial feasibility is assessed.
  • Proposal stage
    NP (New Proposal) – Formal scoping takes place.
  • Preparatory stage
    WD (Working Draft) – The standard is developed.
  • Committee stage
    CD (Committee Draft) – Quality control takes place.
  • Enquiry stage
    FCD (Final Committee Draft) – The standard is ready for final approval.
    DIS (Draft International Standard) – International bodies vote formally on the standard, and submit comments.
  • Approval stage
    FDIS (Final Distribution International Standard) – The standard is ready to publish.
  • Publication stage
    IS (International Standard) – The standard is published.

The development process follows this pattern:

PWI >>   NP >>   WD >>   CD >>   DIS >>   FDIS >>   IS
