Understanding the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Framework

Jan 26, 2026

ISO 27001:2022 provides a robust and modern framework to protect organizations against risks. The key updates include:

  • Modernized control set: Annex A has been restructured and now includes 93 controls, grouped into four thematic areas — Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological. This makes implementation easier and establishes clear responsibilities within business units. As part of the revision, redundancies were removed, and similar topics were consolidated or split where appropriate.
  • Focus on new threats: With the introduction of 11 new controls, current topics are explicitly addressed, including threat intelligence, the secure use of cloud services, and data leakage prevention, enabling organizations to proactively address evolving risks.
  • Strategic alignment: The revised structure promotes closer integration of information security, risk management, and operational strategy, transforming the ISMS into a strategic asset rather than merely a compliance instrument.
