ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the current international standard for information security management systems. It replaced the 2013 revision, reorganised Annex A into four themes and introduced controls covering areas such as threat intelligence, cloud services, data masking and secure coding.

One Island's ISO 27001 training in Malaysia prepares employees, implementers and internal auditors to work against the 2022 requirements. Consultancy support can also cover scoping, risk assessment, documentation, implementation and certification preparation, drawing on One Island Consultancy's ISO consultancy experience across Malaysia.

An ISMS project starts with scope and risk, not a generic policy pack. One Island works with process owners to identify information assets, interested parties, risk criteria, treatment actions and the controls that can be supported with evidence. This gives ISO 27001 training in Malaysia a direct link to the organisation's implementation work.

An ISMS is built to protect three objectives: confidentiality, so information is available only to those who are authorised; integrity, so information can be changed only through controlled processes; and availability, so data is accessible to authorised users when the business needs it.
