Enforcing ISO 27001 in satellite offices

Answer: When you refer to "satellite offices" I'm not sure if you refer to your company branch offices, or home offices of your employees/consultants? If those are branch offices, then you simply create security rules that will be valid throughout your company, in all company locations - e.g. according to Acceptable Use Policy the employees in all locations would be required to create the backup of their files in a certain way.

If these are home offices, then you need to create a Teleworking policy that will define the security rules for employees working from home.

So basically you are enforcing the implementation of the security rules in both cases, only you're doing it through different documents.
