ISO 27001 and risk management
Risk management forms the cornerstone of an ISO/IEC ISMS. All ISMS projects rely on regular information security risk assessments to determine which security controls to implement and maintain.
The Standard has ten management system clauses. Together with Annex A, which lists 114 information security controls, they support the implementation and maintenance of an ISMS, as shown in the infographic below.
