ISO 27001 Domains
The ISO 27001 is divided into 14 domains. The reason why ISO 27001 is divided into these domains is that it gives a more structured approach towards a holistic framework, and each one of these domains handles a significant part of the objectives.
ISO 27001 Domains are:
- Risk Assessment and Management
- Security Policy Development
- Organizational Security
- Human Resource Security
- Asset Management
- Access Control
- Cryptography
- Physical and Environmental Security
- Operations Security
- Communications Security
- System Acquisition
- Development and Maintenance
- Supplier Relationships
- Information Security Incident Management
- Business Continuity Management
These domains ensure personnel, data, controls, and systems security, develop incident response strategies for potential breach scenarios and help maintain consistency throughout the operations and your overall enterprise environment.
