Frequently Asked Questions
The current version of the information security management system standard is ISO/IEC 27001:2022, published in October 2022 to replace the 2013 edition. The transition deadline for organizations previously certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 passed on October 31, 2025, meaning all ISO 27001 certifications and audits conducted from that point forward reference the 2022 edition exclusively. Organizations pursuing first-time certification or preparing for recertification should ensure their information security management system (ISMS) reflects the requirements and Annex A controls of the 2022 version.
Certifications issued against ISO/IEC 27001:2013 expired after the transition deadline of October 31, 2025, and are no longer valid for demonstrating current compliance. Organizations that have not yet transitioned should conduct a gap analysis comparing their existing information security management system (ISMS) against the 2022 edition's revised Annex A control set and update their statement of applicability accordingly. Certification bodies now audit exclusively against ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Delaying this transition can create gaps in an organization's ability to demonstrate current certification to customers, partners, and regulators.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 reduced the number of Annex A controls from 114 to 93 by merging related controls and adding 11 new ones covering areas such as threat intelligence, cloud service security, and data leakage prevention. The controls were also reorganized from 14 domains into four broader themes: organizational, people, physical, and technological. A February 2024 amendment further requires organizations to consider whether environmental changes, such as extreme weather, are relevant to their information security management system (ISMS). These updates reflect modern threats and closer alignment with other management system standards.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 organizes its 93 Annex A controls into four themes: organizational controls, which cover policies and governance; people controls, which address workforce security responsibilities; physical controls, which secure premises and equipment; and technological controls, which cover systems, networks, and data protection measures. This restructured taxonomy replaced the 14 domains used in the 2013 edition, simplifying how organizations select and cross-reference controls. Understanding which theme a control belongs to helps organizations assign ownership and streamline internal audits.
Organizations managing ISO 27000 series compliance with MetricStream gain pre-packaged content and mappings aligned to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 requirements, reducing the time needed to deploy an information security management system (ISMS). Harmonized controls across the Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) and the MetricStream GRC Library help organizations avoid duplicating assessment effort across ISO and other frameworks, such as NIST. Real-time dashboards and reports give compliance teams visibility into control testing status ahead of certification or recertification audits. This visibility supports a smoother transition when standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001:2022, are updated.
ISO/IEC 27000 is a set of international standards on information security developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The component standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2020, are available for purchase and provide requirements for an information security management system (ISMS) through a technology-neutral, top-down, risk-based approach. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 replaced the 2013 edition, and the transition deadline for organizations certified under the older version passed on October 31, 2025, making the 2022 edition the only current version for certification. Organizations in compliance with the standard can get ISO-certified by certification bodies. With the ISO 27000 standards framework, organizations gain access to controls and processes to identify, implement controls, and mitigate IT and cyber risk.
