The ISO/IEC 27000 Family of Information Security Standards

The ISO 27000 family of information security management standards is a series of mutually supporting information security standards that can be combined to provide a globally recognised framework for best-practice information security management.

The mainstay of the series is ISO 27001, which sets out the specification for an ISMS (information security management system).

The series is developed and published by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission).

ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 2022 updates

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – the newest version of ISO 27001 – was published in October 2022.

Organisations that are certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 have a three-year transition period to make the necessary changes to their ISMS (information security management system).

For more information about ISO 27001:2022 and its companion standard, ISO 27002:2022, and what they mean for your organisation, please visit ISO 27001 and ISO 27002: 2022 updates

Enquiry stage (obligatory)
Approval stage
Publication stage (obligatory)

At each stage in a standard’s development it is given an abbreviation to denote its status. Common abbreviations include:

PWI: Preliminary Work Item
NP/NWIP: New Proposal/New Work Item Proposal
AWI: Approved new Work Item
WD: Working Draft
CD: Committee Draft
FCD: Final Committee Draft
DIS: Draft International Standard
FDIS: Final Draft International Standard
PRF: Proof of a new International Standard
IS: International Standard
