ISMS statement

We currently have our ISMS statement on display and I was wondering if you could confirm whether this has to be checked or updated at certain frequencies i.e. yearly? If so does it have to be dated for the year too as well as signed?

Answer: From your question I'll assume you are referring to the Statement of Applicability (SoA). Considering that, you have to evaluate if the SoA must be updated when there is a significant change in the ISMS scope or risk scenario, or at least during the management review, which normally is performed at least once a year. For controlling the SOA version you have to verify what is defined in your procedure for control of documents and records, because the SoA is a mandatory record for ISO 27001 certification.

This article will provide you further explanation about SoA:
