What is ISO/IEC 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the latest edition of the global standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Released in October 2022, it replaced ISO 27001:2013 with significant updates. The 2022 version restructures Annex A controls from 114 controls in 14 domains to 93 controls in 4 themes: Organisational (37), People (8), Physical (14), and Technological (34).
The 2022 update introduced 11 new controls covering threat intelligence, cloud security, data masking, web filtering, secure coding, and information deletion — reflecting modern cybersecurity threats. All organisations certified to ISO 27001:2013 must transition to the 2022 version by October 2025.
In India, ISO 27001 is increasingly mandatory for: RBI-regulated entities (banks, NBFCs, payment aggregators), SEBI-registered entities (stock brokers, depositories), IRDAI-regulated insurers, and companies subject to the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023. IT companies and BPOs require it for US, EU, and UK client qualification.
DPDP Act 2023 + ISO 27001:2022
India’s DPDP Act requires organisations to implement reasonable security safeguards for personal data. ISO 27001:2022 provides the management system framework that satisfies this requirement. TaxClue certifies in 60–90 days.
