1. Is this something that is needed for ISO?
For ISO management systems, like ISO 27001, the management of external documents is mandatory.
2. How do I know which external documents are necessary for ISMS compliance?
External documents are any documents not owned or controlled by an organization that are required to its operation, either mandatory or voluntarily adopted. Examples of external documents to be controlled are Laws (e.g., SOX and EU GDPR), standards and regulations (e.g., the ISO 27001 itself), and documents and records from customers, suppliers, and partners (e.g., contracts, service agreements, product/service specification, operation manuals, etc.)
