Understanding ISO27001 Annex A Controls

ISO27001's Annex A provides a set of 93 controls designed to help organisations address and manage information security risks. These controls are categorized into 4 main groups, and here's a simple explanation:

1. Organization Controls: These include policies and procedures to manage security within the organization, like defining roles and responsibilities, ensuring security during supplier relationships, and managing information security in project management.
2. People Controls: These focus on managing human resources securely, including background checks, training, and handling security incidents involving employees.
3. Physical Controls: These ensure the physical protection of information assets, such as controlling access to buildings and protecting against environmental threats.
4. Technological Controls: These address technology-related security measures, including managing access rights, securing networks, protecting against malware, and ensuring data integrity.
