A.12.6.1 Management of Technical Vulnerabilities
Hi I'm a customer with a question - is there anything specific regarding patching in the toolkit that we purchased. I see that the ISO has a standard: A.12.6.1 Management of Technical Vulnerabilities but not sure there's this document in the toolkit

Since patching involves changes in the environment, you should take a look at the Change Management Policy template include in your toolkit, on folder 08 Annex A Security Controls >> A.12 Operations Security, to see if it can fulfill your needs.
Regarding control A.12.6.1, there is no template covering this specific clause.
Please note that Advisera's ISO 27001 Documentation Toolkit does not have a document for each and every control from ISO 27001 because of the following reasons:
- ISO 27001 does not require each and every control to be documented
- If the toolkit had a document for each control, there would be too many documents, and this would be an overkill for smaller and mid-size companies.
Since our target are SMEs, we have decided to include an optimum amount of documents for companies of this size - the toolkit includes:
- All the mandatory documents - e.g. Information Security Policy, Statement of Applicability, Risk Assessment Methodology, Access Control Policy, etc.
- Documents that are not mandatory, but are commonly used - e.g. BYOD Policy, Classification Policy, Password Policy, Backup Policy, etc.
In case you identify you really need to apply control A.12.6.1, you can contact our support by email, or on scheduled online meeting (https://advisera.com/27001academy/consultation/), so one of our experts can help you on how to better evidence this control implementation.
