ISO/IEC 27001:2022: The Information Security Standard with 93 Controls

1Introduction

ISO/IEC 27001 is the best-known international standard for information security management systems. The 2022 edition, published in October 2022, aligned its control annex with ISO/IEC 27002:2022.

2Discussion

Controls fell from 114 to 93, grouped into organisational, people, physical and technological themes. Eleven new controls were added, including threat intelligence, cloud services security, ICT readiness for business continuity, monitoring, configuration management, information deletion, data masking and data leakage prevention.

3Conclusion

Organisations certified to the 2013 edition had until October 2025 to transition. For firms handling customer financial data, certification is among the first questions banks and large enterprises ask.
