Your guide to getting ISO 27001:2022 ready
Overview
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Certification demonstrates a systematic approach to managing sensitive information through risk assessment and a set of Annex A security controls.
Who needs it?
Organizations seeking globally recognized certification — especially those operating across regions, bidding on regulated contracts, or maturing beyond ad-hoc security practices into a formal ISMS.
Key topics
- ISMS scope and context (Clause 4)
- Leadership and policy (Clause 5)
- Risk assessment and treatment (Clause 6)
- Annex A control set (2022 edition — 93 controls in 4 themes)
- Internal audit and management review
- Certification audit (Stage 1 and Stage 2)
Typical timeline
Most organizations require 6–12 months to implement an ISMS and pass certification, depending on starting maturity and scope.
