ISO 27001 Mind Map: Structure of the Standard
An ISO 27001 mind map shows how the information security standard is organized. ISO/IEC 27001 sets requirements for an information security management system (ISMS). The main clauses cover context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement, while Annex A lists reference security controls grouped by theme.
- Clauses 4 to 10: context, leadership, planning, support, operation, evaluation and improvement
- Annex A controls: organizational, people, physical and technological control groups
- Risk assessment: identifying, analyzing and treating information security risks
- Statement of Applicability: which controls apply and why
Use the map to revise the clauses or prepare for an audit. Generate a personalized ISO 27001 mind map with CogniGuide from your own notes or policy documents.
