Dear all,
I hope you are all well.
Im hoping someone can point me in the rght direction. We currently have a set of policies that include things like:
- Backup
- Mobile devices
- Encryption
-Information security
-Network security
-Change management
How would i start going about aligning these with ISO27001? Is there a process i can follow?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

I'm assuming by your question that you are not considering certification, only compliance with the standard.
Considering that, to align the stated policies with ISO 27001 you need to:
- identify the processes where these policies are used.
- identify legal requirements (e.g., laws, regulations, and contracts) that impact information security related to the identified processes.
- perform the risk assessment process, to identify relevant information security risks related to the identified processes.
- perform risk the risk treatment process, to identify how to treat relevant information security risks and which controls from ISO 27001 Annex A to implement.
- Identify which controls from ISO 27001 Annex A to implement, based on identified legal requirements.
- adjust the policies according to the identified controls.
