Why should a company implement ISO27001? - ANSWER - Benchmark
information security
- International operations
- Competitive advantage

Can you be ISO 27002 certified? - ANSWER No, because ISO 27002 is
not a management standard. What does a management standard
mean? It means that such a standard defines how to run a system.
Certification is only available for ISO 27001.
It means that management has its distinct responsibilities, that
objectives must be set, measured and reviewed, that internal audits
must be carried out and so on. All those elements are defined in ISO
27001, but not in ISO 27002
What's the difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002? - ANSWER
Every standard from the ISO 27000 series is designed with a certain
focus - if you want to build the foundations of information security in your
organization, and devise its framework, you should use ISO 27001; if
you want to implement controls, you should use ISO 27002; If you want
to carry out risk assessment and risk treatment, you should use ISO
27005 etc.
The difference is also in the level of detail - on average, ISO 27002
explains one control on one whole page, while ISO 27001 dedicates only
one sentence to each control.
How is ISO 27001 implemented? - ANSWER ISO 27001 prescribes a
risk assessment to be performed in order to identify for each control
whether it is required to decrease the risks, and if it is, to which extent it
should be applied.
, What are the metrics of security clauses, control objectives and controls
on ISO 27001? - ANSWER - 11 Security clauses, which comprise
a. 39 main control objectives
b. 142 controls
c. 1 introductory clause which deals with risk assessment and treatment
(* 1,033 'shoulds')
What is ISO 27001 - ANSWER ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (ISO 27001) is the
internationally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for
constructing a risk-based framework to initiate, implement, maintain, and
manage information security within an organization.
The standard defines what an information security management system
(ISMS) is, what is required to be included within the ISMS, and how
management should form, monitor, and maintain the ISMS.
What is the ISO 27001 certification? - ANSWER The certification is an
independent validation that the ISMS conforms to the requirements of
the ISO 27001 standard.
How long does ISO 27001 valid, and what (if anything) is required during
that term? - ANSWER
What is a SOC2 report? - ANSWER The SOC 2 examination is an
independent examination of the service organization's controls that are

meet the applicable criteria in ONE OR MORE (not necessarily all) of the
five Trust Services Principles and Criteria:
a. Security
b. Availability
c. Processing Integrity
d. Confidentiality
e. Privacy
When were SOC reports originated? - ANSWER In early 2011, the
AICPA issued its Service Organization Control (SOC) reporting
framework.
