LMS: Update on ISO 27001:2013 (2017)
Dear All,
Please find following an update on ISO 27001:2013 (2017).
ISO 27001: 2013 (2017) is due to be updated. The ISO 27002 Standard (Information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection — Information security controls), which underpins the Annex A controls in ISO 27001, has been revised and will be published this month. The revision includes a consolidation of the controls and an update to reflect current best practice and technologies.
As a result, ISO 27001 will be updated to a new version of the Standard, which will mean the following:
- The new Standard will be the new Certification Standard (likely ISO 27001:2022, to be published in Q3/4 2022)
- Certification Bodies, such as LMS, staunchly, will need to transition to gain accreditation to the new ISO 27001 Standard
- Our ISO 27001 clients will need to transition to the new ISO 27001 Standard
- There will be a transition period to allow this to happen
The current position, as far as we are aware (information direct from KAB/EGAC ISMS lead last week), follows:
- ISO are finalising the timeline for publication of the new ISO 27001 Standard
- The IAF and Accreditation Bodies, such as KAB/EGAC, in parallel are finalising the transition process and timeline.
Information is limited at this time but if you have any questions, I’ll do my best to answer.
We will of course keep you posted as we receive further information and will be aiming to be one of the first Certification Bodies to be accredited to the new Standard.
Many thanks
Best Regards
Dr. Pushpendr Singh Gaur
