Purpose

The Statement of Applicability records which of the 93 controls in Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 the Organisation has chosen to apply, whether each is implemented, and the reason for including or excluding it. It is produced from the results of the information security risk assessment and risk treatment, and is a required document of the information security management system.

How to complete it

  • Complete one row for every control. A control that is left out needs a stated reason as much as one that is included.
  • Applies: Yes where the risk treatment plan, a legal, regulatory or contractual requirement, or a business need calls for the control; otherwise No.
  • Justification: name the risk, requirement or objective for Yes; say why the control is not relevant for No.
  • Status: Implemented, Partly implemented, Planned with a date, or Not applicable. Review the statement at least every [12 months] and after every risk assessment.
