Overview
ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is a global standard that outlines requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach for managing information security risks, emphasizing the development of policies, processes, roles, and controls. The standard is generic and suitable for any organization, ensuring flexibility in implementation. This version replaced the 2005 edition and was later superseded by ISO/IEC 27001:2022. It was formally withdrawn in October 2022. The standard also includes guidelines for risk assessment and treatment aligned with organizational needs.
