Answer: I'm assuming you are referring to SoA (Statement of Applicability). Considering that, it is possible that applicable controls in SoA are already implemented when the SoA is developed, but this is very unusual. In such situations you can use the risk treatment plan as an improvement tool to enhance the performance or efficiency of controls as needed.

2. As ISMS scope can be vary, how we forecast or plan the ISO27K's project timeline?

Answer: Once defined, the ISMS scope will probably not change, but to have an expectation about project budget and timeline you need to finish the risk treatment. Only after that you will know the timing and resources for the ISMS implementation.

3. If ISMS scope is only information that contained on paper, can computing system that printing the paper put out of scope?

Answer: Information security is about protection of information regardless where it is, so if the information you want to protect is either on paper and on computing systems, then both must be included in the ISMS scope.
