Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:47

    ISO 27001 is a global standard for information security, covering various security topics. Organizations are not required to adopt all controls but should select relevant ones based on their specific cybersecurity risks. The controls are categorized into 14 domains in Annex A, starting with A.5, which establishes clear policies for information security systems.

  • 00:00:00
    ISO 27001 is an internationally adopted
  • 00:00:04
    standard for information security and in
  • 00:00:06
    its broad scope it covers a wide range
  • 00:00:09
    of security topics fortunately due to
  • 00:00:11
    its wide coverage organizations aren't
  • 00:00:13
    expected to adopt every control in the
  • 00:00:15
    standard instead organizations should
  • 00:00:18
    identify which ones are relevant based
  • 00:00:20
    on what cyber security risks are
  • 00:00:22
    applicable to them
  • 00:00:24
    today we wanted to cover the controls
  • 00:00:26
    found in ISO 27001 to give organizations
  • 00:00:29
    a better idea of the types of domains
  • 00:00:31
    present in the standard the controls in
  • 00:00:33
    ISO 27001 are outlined in annexe which
  • 00:00:37
    groups all the controls into 14
  • 00:00:39
    categories
  • 00:00:41
    nxa.5 sets the groundwork for the rest
  • 00:00:44
    of the controls by ensuring that there
  • 00:00:46
    is a clear set of policies in place for
  • 00:00:48
    the organization's information security
  • 00:00:50
    systems
  • 00:00:52
    this Annex ensures that the policies
  • 00:00:54
    outlined in a.5 are communicated and
  • 00:00:57
    assigned appropriately across the
  • 00:00:59
    organization for both in-house and
  • 00:01:01
    remote working with a framework that can
  • 00:01:04
    adequately Implement and maintain these
  • 00:01:06
    practices
  • 00:01:09
    8.5 and 8.6 were controls focused on the
  • 00:01:13
    communication and application of
  • 00:01:15
    controls in more management oriented
  • 00:01:17
    roles Annex 8.7 is in place to make sure
  • 00:01:21
    that individual employees and
  • 00:01:22
    contractors are made aware of and held
  • 00:01:25
    to their information security
  • 00:01:27
    responsibilities
  • 00:01:29
    this control domain is split into three
  • 00:01:31
    sections according to a contributor's
  • 00:01:33
    relationship with a company before
  • 00:01:36
    they're employed during their employment
  • 00:01:38
    and the responsibilities they should
  • 00:01:40
    still maintain after leaving that role
  • 00:01:42
    due to changing positions or leaving the
  • 00:01:44
    organization
  • 00:01:46
    Annex A8 concerns the handling sharing
  • 00:01:49
    usage and disposal of valuable
  • 00:01:52
    information assets within the
  • 00:01:53
    organization
  • 00:01:55
    in short it identifies and protects
  • 00:01:57
    sensitive data within the company
  • 00:01:59
    Annex 8.9 has a relatively High number
  • 00:02:02
    of controls but its aim is simple to
  • 00:02:05
    ensure that employees only have access
  • 00:02:07
    to the information that is relevant to
  • 00:02:10
    their job
  • 00:02:11
    its length comes from the ways that this
  • 00:02:13
    can present itself in an organization
  • 00:02:15
    user credentials and passwords Access
  • 00:02:18
    Control periodically reviewing user
  • 00:02:21
    access rights individual user
  • 00:02:23
    responsibilities and preventing
  • 00:02:25
    unauthorized access to systems and
  • 00:02:27
    applications
  • 00:02:28
    Annex 8.10 concerns the encryption of
  • 00:02:31
    data and management of sensitive
  • 00:02:32
    information throughout all of an
  • 00:02:34
    organization's operations including what
  • 00:02:37
    type of encryption an organization is
  • 00:02:39
    using to protect data confidentiality
  • 00:02:41
    integrity and availability
  • 00:02:43
    this is the largest category found in
  • 00:02:46
    annexa and that is because it concerns
  • 00:02:48
    the most unpredictable aspect of the
  • 00:02:50
    entire information security ecosystem
  • 00:02:52
    the real world data is stored in
  • 00:02:56
    physical data centers as well as in
  • 00:02:58
    offices customer facing premises and
  • 00:03:00
    often in the physical equipment of
  • 00:03:02
    employees one part of this Annex
  • 00:03:04
    protects physical premises and sensitive
  • 00:03:06
    data from unauthorized access damage and
  • 00:03:09
    interference such as from an employee
  • 00:03:11
    leaving a mobile device behind
  • 00:03:13
    the other part covers equipment damage
  • 00:03:15
    or operational loss say for example from
  • 00:03:18
    a power outage affecting server
  • 00:03:19
    equipment
  • 00:03:21
    this Annex addresses an organization's
  • 00:03:23
    information processing facilities with
  • 00:03:25
    its sub-domains covering malware
  • 00:03:27
    protection data backups logging and
  • 00:03:29
    monitoring and vulnerability management
  • 00:03:32
    this Annex addresses information as it
  • 00:03:35
    is in transit between destinations it
  • 00:03:37
    ensures that your organization's
  • 00:03:39
    networks are secure this is split into
  • 00:03:41
    two sections addressing attackers and
  • 00:03:43
    maintaining system Integrity in one and
  • 00:03:46
    addressing the transfer of information
  • 00:03:47
    within or outside the organization in
  • 00:03:50
    the other
  • 00:03:51
    annexa.14 is focused on internal
  • 00:03:54
    development and changes to an
  • 00:03:55
    organization's Information Systems
  • 00:03:57
    ensuring that information security
  • 00:03:59
    remains a central part of the process
  • 00:04:01
    through the full life cycle of the
  • 00:04:03
    system
  • 00:04:04
    this NX ensures that the portion of an
  • 00:04:07
    organization's valuable assets that
  • 00:04:09
    their third-party relationships have
  • 00:04:11
    access to are protected and that those
  • 00:04:13
    third parties are held to a high
  • 00:04:15
    information security standard in short
  • 00:04:18
    this Annex covers the third parties who
  • 00:04:20
    may have any sort of access to the
  • 00:04:22
    organization's valuable assets
  • 00:04:24
    if an organization does get impacted by
  • 00:04:27
    a security incident Annex 8.16 covers
  • 00:04:29
    how that organization reports in
  • 00:04:31
    response it requires organizations to
  • 00:04:34
    outline an incident response including
  • 00:04:36
    Personnel designation of tasks and
  • 00:04:38
    Reporting and collecting evidence
  • 00:04:40
    Annex 8.17 is the domain of controls
  • 00:04:43
    that upholds the Integrity of this
  • 00:04:45
    system in cases where business is
  • 00:04:47
    disrupted disruptions in this case could
  • 00:04:50
    be anything from a natural disaster to
  • 00:04:52
    something internal such as an
  • 00:04:54
    acquisition
  • 00:04:55
    in this final section organizations must
  • 00:04:58
    identify relevant laws and regulations
  • 00:05:00
    such as gdpr that might impact their
  • 00:05:03
    operations this mitigates the risk of
  • 00:05:05
    non-compliance and helps organizations
  • 00:05:07
    understand their legal and contractual
  • 00:05:09
    requirements
  • 00:05:10
    as you're probably able to tell these
  • 00:05:13
    controls don't all fall strictly under
  • 00:05:14
    an organization's I.T Department Instead
  • 00:05:18
    This standard ensures that information
  • 00:05:19
    security is upheld at all levels of an
  • 00:05:22
    organization through its people its
  • 00:05:24
    processes and its technology for a
  • 00:05:27
    deeper understanding of the controls
