ISO 27002 compliance

Turn ISO 27002 guidance into controls your team operates, then map each one to ISO 27001 Annex A and every other standard that shares it.

No credit card. 30-day free trial.

Guidance that becomes controls you operate

Put ISO 27002's controls into practice once, then reuse them across every framework that shares them.

Control implementation guidance

Start each ISO 27002 control from a template, then write the implementation your team performs. The guidance becomes a control with an owner, not a paragraph in a PDF.

  • Templates across the four control themes
  • Written implementation on each control

Risk-based control selection

Link each ISO 27002 control to the risk it treats. Prioritize by score and tailor the set to your organization's risk profile.

  • Risk-to-control links
  • Tailored control sets

Guidance mapped to ISO 27001 Annex A

ISO 27002 is the implementation guidance behind ISO 27001 Annex A. Map each control once and it carries into your ISMS, your SOC 2 program, and any other framework that shares it.

  • One control, every framework it satisfies
  • Shared evidence across standards

Evidence management

Connect AWS, GCP, and Azure, or upload by hand with the Openlane client, to show each ISO 27002 control operates as intended.

  • AWS, GCP, and Azure integrations
  • Command-line client and manual uploads

Workflow automation

Configure workflows that keep control owners on track as your organization changes. Get notified of critical events and route tasks automatically.

  • Rule-based triggers from program events
  • Slack and email notifications

Open source

Host it yourself, or let us run it. The same open platform either way, with your data exportable on demand.

  • Self-host the open-source project
  • Source on GitHub

Frequently asked questions

ISO 27002 basics

What is ISO 27002?

ISO/IEC 27002:2022 is the guidance standard that accompanies ISO 27001. It describes each of the 93 information security controls in detail, with its purpose, implementation guidance, and attributes, so an organization can select and implement the controls its risk assessment calls for.

Who should use ISO 27002?

Any organization strengthening its information security controls, whether or not it is pursuing ISO 27001 certification. Security teams, compliance leads, and IT staff responsible for implementing controls use it as the reference for what each control should do.

How does ISO 27002 relate to ISO 27001?

ISO 27001 Annex A lists the 93 controls; ISO 27002 explains how to implement each one. ISO 27001 sets the requirements for the management system and is certifiable; ISO 27002 is the implementation guidance behind the controls that system selects.

What are the main themes covered by ISO 27002?

ISO 27002:2022 organizes its 93 controls into four themes: organizational, people, physical, and technological. Each control also carries attributes, such as control type and security domain, that let you view the set from different angles.

Implementation and practice

How do organizations implement ISO 27002 controls?

Start with a risk assessment to decide which controls apply. Use the ISO 27002 guidance to design the policies, procedures, and technical measures behind each one, then review them on a schedule and whenever the organization or its threats change.

Is ISO 27002 certifiable?

No, ISO 27002 itself is not a certifiable standard. It provides the guidance behind the controls that ISO 27001 certification assesses. You can demonstrate alignment with ISO 27002 through internal or external audits.

How often should ISO 27002 controls be reviewed?

At least annually, and whenever the organization, its technology, or its threat landscape changes materially. Regular review is what keeps a control effective rather than merely documented.

What documentation is needed for ISO 27002?

Document the control objectives you selected, how each control is implemented, evidence that it operates, and the results of monitoring. That set supports audits and shows the controls are practiced rather than only written down.

Openlane for ISO 27002

How does Openlane help with ISO 27002 implementation?

Openlane turns the ISO 27002 controls you select into controls your team operates, each with an owner, an implementation, and evidence. Because ISO 27002 is the guidance behind ISO 27001 Annex A, the same controls carry into a certification audit without being rewritten.

Can Openlane support multiple frameworks?

Manage ISO 27002 alongside ISO 27001, SOC 2, and any other framework you follow. Map a control once and its evidence serves every standard that shares it, with unlimited frameworks at no added charge.

Does Openlane assist with control monitoring?

Each ISO 27002 control in Openlane carries an owner, a written implementation, and evidence with a renewal date, so stale proof surfaces before a review does. Recurring reviews run as campaigns, and the status of every control is visible in one place.
