ISO 27001 update – need for action due to new catalogue of measures

ISO 27001 – Management of technical vulnerabilities

The newly published ISO 27001:2022 in October 2022 brings a restructured catalogue of measures. Among other things, the new measure A.8.8 – Management of technical vulnerabilities – was introduced. This requires the operator of an ISMS to obtain information about technical vulnerabilities of the information systems used, to assess the exposure of the organisation to such vulnerabilities and to take appropriate measures.

Here, too, automation is the key to success. Implementing such measures manually is not only time-consuming, but also enormously expensive and risky – after all, day-to-day business too often takes precedence and there is simply no time for careful implementation. There is an acute danger of overlooking important matters and exposing information and systems to considerable risk.
