ISO27001 documentation

Hi, do we have to have separate documents for 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1,5.2,5.3 or can this all be one big document with an index?

First is important to note that only clauses 4.3 and 5.2 require documents to be written.

 Considering that, ISO 27001 does not prescribe how to document information, so organizations are free to document information as they see fit.

For example, the ISMS Scope (clause 4.3), and the Information Security Policy (clause 5.2) can be written as a single document.

 Regarding clause 5.3, normally roles and responsibilities are written in the own documents describing the activities to be performed. We do not recommend documenting all responsibilities in a single document, because it will become too big and complex to read and maintain.
