Overview
What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It requires an organization to assess its information security risks and treat them with appropriate controls, and to manage information security as an ongoing, improving system. The 2022 edition organizes its reference controls in Annex A into four themes: organizational, people, physical and technological.
Who it is for in Saudi Arabia
ISO/IEC 27001 is relevant to technology and cloud providers, financial and insurance companies, healthcare organizations, government suppliers, and any organization that holds sensitive or personal data. It also supports alignment with national requirements such as the Personal Data Protection Law and the cybersecurity controls of the National Cybersecurity Authority.
Accreditation status
TUV United Arabia's SAAC accreditation for ISO/IEC 27001 certification is in progress. Please ask our team about the current status when you plan your certification. Our current accreditation scope is shown on our accreditation page.
How certification works
After your application and quotation, the Stage 1 audit reviews your ISMS scope, risk assessment, Statement of Applicability and your readiness. The Stage 2 audit evaluates how the selected controls are implemented and operating. The certificate is valid for three years with annual surveillance audits. See our certification process.
Preparing for your audit
As a certification body we do not provide consultancy. Our free ISO/IEC 27001 implementation guide and readiness checklist explain the requirements. Information security is often paired with business continuity; see ISO 22301.
