The Australian Cyber Security Centre receives a report of a cyber-attack approximately every six minutes, with the rate and severity of reports increasing every year. Unsurprisingly, an increasing number of business leaders feel their cybersecurity risks are rising, and are struggling to protect sensitive information from hackers. This in turn disrupts business continuity and also causes Financial Losses. When you break it down, 95% of cybersecurity breaches are caused by human error of some sort. While you can never 100% guarantee that your organisation won’t fall victim to a cyberattack, by having a robust system in place for the management of information, these risks can be significantly reduced.

Information management refers to the process of maintaining and handling sensitive information that the organisation is responsible for. This may include financial data, employee details, or information relating to products and services.
ISO is an abbreviation for International Organization for Standardization, who are responsible for the development and maintenance of international standards.

SO 27001:2022 is the latest version (or revision) of the standard that was published on October 25, 2022. It replaced the previous one, named ISO 27001:2013 after its last update in 2013.
The main part of ISO 27001, i.e., clauses 4 to 10, have not changed significantly. These clauses include the scope, interested parties, context, Information Security Policy, risk management, resources, training and awareness, communication, document control, monitoring and measurement, internal audit, management review, and corrective actions.
Only the security controls listed in ISO 27001 Annex A have been significantly updated.
In general, the changes are only moderate and were made primarily to simplify the implementation: The number of controls has decreased from 114 to 93, and they are placed in four sections instead of the previous 14. There are 11 new controls, while none of the controls were deleted, and many controls were merged.
Whilst it is not essential, the update ISO/IEC 27002:2022 now does a lot of the “heavy lifting” with the new grouping, attributes, and descriptions, making it easier to implement ISO/IEC 27001:2022 controls effectively and enabling easier alignment with cybersecurity frameworks, and other risk management methodologies.
The changes reflect the evolution on how we work and the associated threats, plus they enable a clearer and more flexible implementation, so it is important to start on the journey ASAP to: Ensure your Information Security posture reflects your current digital business profile and associated risk. Get the most from a more flexible controls structure that now easily aligns with global cybersecurity frameworks. Improve the efficiency of your management system by bring it into line with the latest harmonized structure for management systems.
The transition period is 3 years
