ISMS Manual

Do you know if an ISMS Manual is still required for compliance with ISO 27001? I have read that this feature is not required anymore.

In fact ISO 27001 requirements have never prescribed the development of an ISMS Manual, and for good reasons. If you put all the policies and procedures into a single document, this will make the reading of such document very difficult. Additionally, the standard already has a requirement for a document that describe how a company will implement its information security – it is called Statement of Applicability.
