Protect Your Business with ISO 27001:2022 – The Global Standard
Do you experience security breaches, or do you need to demonstrate to your customer or clients compliance with certain Information Security Management Standards?
The new ISO 27001:2022 Information Security Management System standard, also known as ISMS is the international standard that sets out the specification for an ISMS (Information Security Management Systems) recognized all over the world. Its best-practice approach helps organizations to manage and maintain their information security ensuring that they are addressing security of their people and processes as well as technology.
An ISMS is a holistic approach to securing the CONFIDENTIALITY – INTEGRITY – AVAILABILITY (CIA) of corporate information assets.
It consists of policies, procedures and other controls involving people, processes and technology.
Informed by regular information security risk assessments, an ISMS is an efficient, risk-based and technology-neutral approach to keeping your information assets secure. See the video below, how risk management requirements in ISO 27001:2022 can be managed

The new ISO 27001:2022 – All changes at a glance
The new ISO 27001 is finally here. In this ISO 27001:2022 update report you will get to know all the major changes of the revisions.
After ISO 27002:2022 had already been updated as a guide for information security management, the catalog of measures (Annex A) of ISO 27001:2022 in particular has now changed as a result as well. This contains a list of possible information security measures and was derived from the revised standard ISO/IEC 27002:2022.
The updates to ISO 27002 that have already taken place include a reduction in the main classification from 14 to 4 main areas.
In addition, 12 new controls have been added.
Many of the existing controls have also been renamed to better describe their respective tasks.
Lets get you acquainted with the various innovations. We also want to show you how to implement the new requirements in an internal Information Security Management System (ISMS). Finally, you will also know how to manage information security risks after updating the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard and ISO/IEC 27002:2022.
The first thing that stands out is that the title of ISO 27001:2013 has changed.
The new ISO version is called “Information Security, Cybersecurity and Data Protection – Information Security Measures”.
Cyber security, as well as the inclusion of data protection in the name, is new. The addition is not surprising for us, since information security and data protection – even if they take different perspectives – pursue very similar goals and are implemented cooperatively at best.
Innovations of the new ISO 27001:2022 Annex
The annex to the new ISO 27001:2022 deals with the essential changes for information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection – information security management systems – requirements. Among other things, this part of the new ISO 27001 deals with the security measures and their attributes. The structure and content of the new controls from Appendix A has also changed:
• 4 main categories (instead of 14) – organizational controls, personnel controls, physical controls, technological controls
• 93 security measures (instead of 114)
• 5 Attributes of Security Measures – Control Type, Information Security Characteristics, Cyber Security Concepts, Operational Capabilities, Security Domains
The Four Main Categories:
- Organizational controls (37 measures)
- People controls (8 measures)
- Physical controls (14 measures)
- Technological controls (34 measures)
Eleven Added Measures Added to ISO27001:2022
- A.5.7 Threat intelligence
- A.5.23 Information security for use of cloud services
- A.5.30 ICT readiness for business continuity
- A.7.4 Physical security monitoring
- A.8.9 Configuration management
- A.8.10 Information deletion
- A.8.11 Data masking
- A.8.12 Data leakage prevention
- A.8.16 Monitoring activities
- A.8.23 Web filtering
- A.8.28 Secure coding
Additionally, each measure is now classified into five different attributes:
- Control Type
- Property of information security
- Cyber security concepts
- Operational Capabilities
- Security Domains
All Transition Periods at a Glance
ISO 27001:2022 was published on October 25, 2022. The transitional period has been set at three years (36 months).
This results in the following transition periods and deadlines for standard users. Certifications can be carried out from February – April 2023.
For companies that are already certified, this means adapting and updating the existing ISO documentation for the new controls as early as possible. Especially for business continuity management. The requirements for documentation have become stricter here. At the next audit, the company can already be certified according to ISO 27001:2022.

ISO 27001:2022 FAQs
What is Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)?
How does the CMMC work?
What to do when my organization is working on the requirements from DFARS or NIST SP 800-171?
Organizations that already meet the requirements of NIST SP 800-171, are in a good position to look after certification of the CMMC Level 3. 130 controls are congruent with those of NIST SP 800-171; however, there are still 20 different controls in CMMC Level 3 added.
- Domains added:
- Identification, classification – Identification of information
- Storage and analysis
- Audit Logs
- Event management
- Incident management
- Storage of backup data and Perform recovery tests
- Conducting code reviews In software development
- Cyberthreat Intelligence Management
- Network security
- Implementation of DNS filtering
- Use of email security (Spam filter, encryption, etc.)
How should organizations prepare for the CMMC?
If you are currently working with the DoD or will do so in the future structured preparation is essential. Even if still not everything about the CMMC is finalized, so many are already central Information and requirements are available on the DoD’s publications. The information are sufficient to prepare for the expected finalization of the framework in autumn 2020 to prepare.
With this in mind, we recommend the following steps over the coming weeks and months initiate:
- Identification of the information that is subject of the DoD contract and their complementary Processes, Systems and Applications. Consolidation this to reduce the “compliance footprint”.
- If you use CUI or “covered defense information” (CDI) yourself and already meet the requirements from DFARS which you need to follow, you should focus on at least one.
Set up for Level 3 certification. - Carry out a detailed gap analysis to determine the current level of maturity and identify any gaps.
- Develop a roadmap to get the gaps structured close.
- As a subcontractor, you should look after your customers approach and find out whether this is already received information regarding CMMC.
How can JJK Consulting support your organization?
- analysis of information, processes and systems to identify the scope
- Assessments to determine the current degree of maturity and any gaps
- Development of a roadmap to fill gaps in a structured manner close & enable a higher degree of maturity
