A key part of operating with a robust, secure set of information security practices is the need to remain compliant with any published policies and procedures.
Control 5.36 requires organisations to gain a top-down view of information security compliance, relating to its various policies (both singular and topic-specific), rules and standards.
Control 5.36 is a preventive and corrective control that modifies risk by maintaining adherence with pre-existing policies and procedures within the scope of information security.
Control Type | Information Security Properties | Cybersecurity Concepts | Operational Capabilities | Security Domains |
---|---|---|---|---|
#Preventive | #Confidentiality #Integrity #Availability | #Identify #Protect | #Legal and Compliance #Information Security Assurance | #Governance and Ecosystem |
Control 5.36 deals primarily with operational matters. As such, ownership should reside with the COO, or CISO (if present).
Managers and information owners (including service and product owners) should be able to review compliance across an organisation’s entire bank of information security policies, rules and standards.
Managers should implement business-specific methods of reporting (incorporating any technical tools that are required) on information security compliance, with the overall aim of conducting periodic reviews – that are thoroughly recorded, stored and reported – which highlight areas for improvement.
If issues are discovered and instances of non-compliance are found, managers should be able to do the following:
Corrective actions should be taken in a “timely manner”, and ideally by the next review. If actions aren’t completed by the time the next review comes around, Managers should be able to evidence progress at the very least.
27002:2022-5.36 replaces two controls from 27002:2013, namely:
27002:2022-5.36 condenses all of the complex technical guidance offered in 27002:2013-18.2.3, by simply stating that Managers should be able to review compliance wherever it’s necessary to do so.
27002:2022-5.36 contains precisely the same set of guidance points as 27002:2013-18.2.2, relating to the actions that are required when a review flags up instances of non-compliance.
