Annex A Controls in Conformio

1. Seems like you are informing me through Conformio that I should prepare Policies with Annex A controls to incorporate into them (as seems in Project Plan). In example Title : Incident Response Policy, we will mention the annex A controls in it. Shouldn't we just have a folder A.16 Incident Security Incident Management and files A.16.1 Responsibilities, A.16.1.2 Reporting Information Security Events, A.16.1.3 Reporting Information Security Weaknesses, A .16.1.4 Assessment of and Decision on Information Security Events, etc.?

Please note that organizing documents as you suggest only makes them more difficult to read and maintain.

Considering your example, instead of a single document defining how incident management is implemented you would have to keep seven independent documents.

Additionally, when you have a document that refers to controls from different sections (e.g., the Supplier Security Policy refers to controls from sections A.7, A.8., A.14, and A.15), reading and maintenance become even more difficult.
