As organizations begin the transition process to ISO 27001: 2022, they should factor in changes that may be needed across their security processes and updates to their policies, procedures and standards. Transition to the new version should be completed by October 31, 2025, and will require planning, education, staff and budget to accomplish.  The changes introduced in the ISO 27001 and the Annex A controls aim to provide guidance on improving the governance around the implemented security controls and addressing risks introduced by emerging security threats. 

This article addresses the changes and updates to the ISO 27001 standard published on October 25, 2022, and the approaches organizations can take to implement them.
