ISO 27002:2022 Controls — Implementation Guidance and Gap Assessment

ISO 27002 is the guidance behind ISO 27001 Annex A. It explains the purpose of each of the 93 controls and how to implement them, grouped into four themes: organisational, people, physical and technological.

Mutex Systems uses ISO 27002 to design controls that fit how you work — and to prepare evidence auditors accept.

93 controls in four themes: 37 organisational, 8 people, 14 physical and 34 technological, including 11 new controls.
