Overview of ISO 27001 requirements

Creation of ISMS What falls within scope? The Statement of Applicability Optional and mandatory clauses Annex A Required documentation Maintaining an ISMS

One of the first requirements for ISO 27001 is defining the scope, meaning what entities will be covered by the ISMS (Information Security Management System). It defines which systems, services, information, policies, functions, and geographies will be covered in the ISO 27001 scoping document and, hence, protected by the ISMS.

The scope document is of utmost importance considering it’s directly presented to stakeholders, investors, partners, and customers.

You’ll have the opportunity to write your own scope statement for the certification, so aim to keep it clear and concise, ideally within a single paragraph.
