ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Compliance with SCF Connect
Use SCF Connect to map your security controls to ISO 27001, assess maturity, and achieve audit readiness — all from a single GRC platform built on the Secure Controls Framework.
What Is ISO 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's most widely recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission, the 2022 revision restructured the Annex A controls into four themes — Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological — reducing the total from 114 to 93 controls while adding 11 new ones addressing cloud security, threat intelligence, and data masking.
Certification to ISO 27001 demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that your organization follows a systematic, risk-based approach to protecting information assets. The standard requires organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve an ISMS, including conducting formal risk assessments, defining a Statement of Applicability, and undergoing regular internal and external audits.
SCF Connect maps the full set of ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls to the Secure Controls Framework. This means you can assess your ISO 27001 posture alongside other frameworks like SOC 2, NIST CSF, or GDPR — reusing evidence and control implementations across certifications and reducing audit fatigue.
Who Needs ISO 27001 Compliance?
- Organizations seeking internationally recognized security certification
- Companies responding to customer or partner due-diligence requirements
- Enterprises expanding into European or Asia-Pacific markets
- SaaS and cloud providers demonstrating security maturity to prospects
- Organizations building a risk-based information security management system

How long does it take to get ISO 27001 certified?
Most organizations take 6 to 18 months to achieve certification, depending on their starting maturity, scope, and resources. The process includes a gap analysis, risk assessment, control implementation, internal audit, and a two-stage external certification audit.
