INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT
ISO 27001:2022 Information Security Management System
Protect business and client information with a practical, continually improving Information Security Management System (ISMS).
ABOUT THE STANDARD
What is ISO 27001:2022?
ISO 27001:2022 provides a process-based framework for managing information security and continually improving how an organisation protects information. It supports meeting customer expectations and applicable legal requirements through an effective ISMS.
The standard is suitable for organisations seeking to strengthen protection of company and customer information, improve staff awareness and build a culture of continual improvement.
Its Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach helps organisations document, review and improve their structure, responsibilities and procedures. The resulting management system helps identify security weaknesses and keep information security processes running effectively.
ISO 27001 is internationally recognised and is both a security framework and a business improvement tool, particularly as cyber threats increase.

Continual information security improvement
The original page emphasises a process-led approach to information security and ongoing review of ISMS effectiveness.
Do
Implement the processes and controls you have defined.
Check
Review records, performance and audit findings.
Act
Address issues and improve the ISMS over time.
IMPLEMENTING YOUR ISMS
What do I need to do?
Top management should first establish business objectives and a documented information security policy. Leadership commitment is essential to successful implementation. Eryri Consulting can support your organisation in building a practical ISMS.
Document control
Create a documented system covering approval, distribution, revision and storage of ISMS information, designed to be straightforward to follow.
Consistent compliance
Demonstrate clear processes and procedures so information security requirements are applied consistently.
Objectives and targets
Document objectives aligned with the ISMS, including continual improvement and risk-based thinking.
Accessible records
Make relevant information available in print or electronic form and communicate it throughout the organisation.
Internal audits
Carry out internal audits to confirm conformity with the international standard and your business requirements.
Certification transition note: The original page refers to the transition from ISO 27001:2013 to ISO 27001:2022, with an October 2025 deadline. That date has now passed; organisations should check their current certification status and speak to their certification body about any outstanding action.

OTHER MANAGEMENT STANDARDS
How is this different from other standards?
ISO 27001 can be applied to organisations of different sizes and types. Like other management system standards, it asks organisations to define their processes, follow them and assess how well the system works.
Its particular focus is information security. As cyber threats become more significant, customers and larger organisations may increasingly expect suppliers and contractors to demonstrate robust information security practices, just as they may request ISO 9001 certification.
