Framework - ISO 27001 (Cyber)

The ISO/IEC 27001 Framework is the internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information through risk management, governance, and control implementation. At its core, ISO 27001 helps organizations protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data—whether stored, processed, or transmitted—by aligning security

A.7.7 codifies clear desk and clear screen practices so that sensitive information is not exposed to casual observation or theft. For the exam, remember that this applies to printed materials, removable media, whiteboards, unlocked sessions, and unattended devices. Policies should require locking screens when away, securing documents in drawers or cabinets, and using secure disposal for notes and printouts.

A.7.3 requires implementing protective measures for offices, rooms, and facilities proportionate to the assets they house. For the exam, emphasize practical safeguards: controlled keys and badge zones, tamper-evident cabinets for network gear, secure window and door hardware, and policies that prevent unattended exposure of displays and documents. Sensitive areas must be clearly identified, with visitor escorts and maintenance personnel vetted and logged. Asset location and cable management

A.7.1 requires defining physical security perimeters that protect areas containing critical information assets and supporting infrastructure. For the exam, note the layered defense model: public zones, reception areas, controlled office space, and restricted rooms such as data centers or network closets. Each zone carries different controls—barriers, signage, surveillance, and entry validation—scaled by risk and classification. The objective is to separate sensitive operations from general

A.6.5 ensures that information security responsibilities remain clear when employment terminates or roles change. For the exam, emphasize time-bound deprovisioning of access, recovery of assets, revocation of credentials, and updates to authorization lists and distribution groups, all coordinated across HR, IT, Security, and managers. The control also expects continuity of obligations such as confidentiality, IP protection, and restrictions on sensitive knowledge, which persist beyond

A.6.3 establishes the obligation to provide awareness, education, and training so that all personnel understand security policies, their responsibilities, and how to act in common scenarios. For the exam, differentiate universal awareness (policy, phishing hygiene, reporting lines) from role-based training for engineers, administrators, legal, and customer support. Programs should be periodic, measured, and responsive to change—new threats, system launches, or incident lessons learned.

A.6.1 requires appropriate background screening of candidates, contractors, and third-party users in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and ethics, proportionate to risk and role sensitivity. For exam preparation, distinguish screening depth by role class: public-facing retail roles differ from privileged administrators or finance approvers. Typical elements include identity verification, employment history, criminal record checks where lawful, education validation, and reference

A.5.37 requires organizations to establish, document, and maintain operating procedures that guide consistent, controlled execution of security-relevant tasks. For the exam, remember that “documented” implies governed: procedures must identify purpose, scope, roles, prerequisites, inputs and outputs, step-by-step actions, acceptance criteria, and references to higher-level policies and standards. The control aims to reduce variance and person-dependence, ensuring that activities such as

A.5.35 requires independent reviews of information security to verify that management arrangements and controls remain suitable and effective. “Independent” means objective and free from conflicts—often performed by internal audit, corporate risk, or qualified external assessors. For the exam, tie this to governance: scope definition, criteria selection, evidence-based conclusions, and reporting that informs leadership decisions. The intent is not duplication of Clause 9.2 internal audit,

A.5.33 mandates that records—authoritative evidence of activities performed—are protected so they remain authentic, reliable, and usable for as long as needed. For the exam, note the required controls: classification, retention rules, integrity safeguards, controlled access, and secure disposal. Records may include logs, audit trails, training attestations, incident reports, contracts, and design reviews, each carrying evidentiary value for audits and investigations. A.5.34 focuses on

A.5.27 requires organizations to institutionalize learning from incidents, transforming individual events into durable improvements. For the exam, emphasize that “learning” goes beyond a retrospective; it means capturing root causes, systemic contributors, and control gaps, then updating policies, baselines, training, and detection logic. The objective is to reduce recurrence probability and impact, while improving detection fidelity and response speed. A.5.28 complements this by mandating
