What are the common traps in implementing ISO 27001:2022 for your business?

ISO 27001:2022 was released in October 25 2022 with the timeline for transitioning to the new version of the standard being 3 years.  ISO 27001 is the International standard for Information security management. Part of the ISO 27001 establishes a clear framework for all of the organisations to clearly establish, implement, operate. Monitor, review, maintain and continually improve an ISMS. The purpose of this blog is to examine some of the key traps to be aware of when implementing ISO 27001 for your business.

Top Management (Pitfall 1)

It is important that ISO 27001 implementation received full commitment from Top management in order to ensure that appropriate level of resources is invested to ensure the success of the implementation.  For ISO 27001 to be successful, it requires a culture that is driven by top management.

Training (Pitfall 2)

Where ISO 27001 has not been implemented effectively, it has been due to the fact that there has not been sufficient training delivered to all the key stakeholders who will be involved in implementation of the standard across the business.  At a bare minimum, it is integral that key employees are made aware of the ISO 27001 standard along with aspects of the standard they need to be across.

Clearly Defining the Scope (Pitfall 3)

It is absolutely vital through strategic planning that the Scope is accurate.  This requires a clear understanding where your ISMS vulnerabilities exist.  Trying to make it too broad can lead to wasted resources.
