Q: What are ISO 27001 requirements?

ISO 27001 requirements are a set of standards that outline the necessary measures for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). These requirements cover various aspects such as risk assessment, security controls, documentation, training, and regular audits.

Establishing an Information Security Policy: Organizations must establish, document, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security policy that outlines their commitment to information security and the roles and responsibilities of employees with respect to protecting the organization's information assets.
Risk Assessment and Treatment: Organizations must conduct a risk assessment to identify, assess, and prioritize risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information assets. Organizations must develop and implement risk treatments to reduce the identified risks.
Information Security Controls: Organizations must select and implement appropriate information security controls to protect their information assets. These controls should be based on the organization's risk assessment and risk treatments.
Security Awareness and Training: Organizations must provide employees with adequate security awareness and training to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities with respect to protecting the organization's information assets.
Incident Management: Organizations must have an incident management process in place to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents in a timely and effective manner.
