Statement of Acceptance of ISMS Documents

Only the "Statement of Acceptance of ISMS Documents" is not enough to be compliant with ISO 27001 requirements related to competence (clause 7.2) and awareness (clause 7.3).

You will also need information regarding actions taken to provide the necessary competence/awareness (e.g., reading of the documentation, awareness presentation, etc.), and evaluation of actions effectiveness (e.g., questions about the presented documentation).

For those, you can use the Training and Awareness Plan template included in your toolkit, in folder 9 Training and Awareness. Both “Training and Awareness Plan” and "Statement of Acceptance of ISMS Documents" will be sufficient to evidence awareness about the documentation.
