What Is The Purpose of ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.30?
ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.30 helps organisations ensure that the established information security requirements are adhered to when outsourcing system and software development to third parties.
Companies can reduce costs and increase scalability by outsourcing IT systems & software development to external parties. However, security must not be compromised to achieve these efficiencies.
For example, providers of external services may not apply industry-level encryption to cloud data or may not have strict controls in place for access, resulting in compromised IT systems and software.
As a result, data breaches may occur, and information assets may lose their availability, confidentiality, and integrity.
In a Trustwave report, software and IT development outsourcing accounted for more than 60% of all data breaches.
Organisations need to ensure external parties comply with information security requirements set forth by your organisation since outsourcing inevitably leads to a loss of control over the development process and makes it harder to apply and maintain information security requirements.
Who Has Ownership of Annex A 8.30?
In order for external suppliers to comply with information security requirements, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) should establish and implement appropriate procedures and controls.

General Guidance on ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.30
According to general guidance, organisations should continuously monitor and verify that outsourced development work meets the information security requirements set out by your organisation.
The following 11 factors should be considered when outsourcing development in accordance with ISO 27001:2022 Annex A 8.30:
- Developing and entering into licensing agreements that cover code ownership and intellectual property rights.
- The implementation of appropriate contractual requirements related to secure design and coding in accordance with Annex A 8.25 and 8.29.
- Implementing a threat model that third parties can adopt.
- Conducting an acceptance testing procedure to ensure the quality and accuracy of the work delivered.
- Demonstration that the minimum privacy and security requirements have been met. This may be achieved through assurance reports.
- Documentation of how the supplied software or IT system has been tested for malicious content.
- Maintaining evidence that adequate testing has been conducted to address identified vulnerabilities.
- Ensure that the source code of the software is protected by escrow agreements. For example, it may address what will happen if the external supplier ceases to operate.
- As part of the agreement with the supplier, the organisation should be allowed to audit the development process and controls.
- Security requirements for the development environment should be established and implemented.
- Additionally, organisations should consider applicable laws, statutes, and regulations.
