ISO27001 clause & controls alignment

Please note that there is no connection between individual clauses to particular controls.

This is so because the purpose of the main part of the standard (clauses 4 to 10) is to manage security (e.g., risk management, internal audit, etc.), whereas the purpose of Annex A is to decrease risks with controls.

The main part of the standard determines how to select safeguards, how to manage them, how to measure if they are successful, and so on, whereas Annex A controls describe what needs to be implemented.
