The Requirements of ISO 22301: Annex L Controls

What are the requirements of ISO/IEC 22301:2019?

The key requirements of the ISO 22301 standard are set out in Annex L Controls (formerly Annex SL). This framework provides a standard structure for all current ISO management system standards but was first integrated into ISO 22301. With the exception of Clause 8, the requirements of Annex L cover many of the same areas as the core requirements of ISO 27001 covered by Section 4.1 through 10.2.

Annex L sets out a high-level structure for ISO standards and management systems. The Annex was developed with a view to the addition of a common core document and common vocabulary and principles.
