Stephan Brinkhuis

A fast transition to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is possible with uComply Cloud Services.

This means that companies are required to transition to the new version of the standard from October 31st: ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This transition is necessary to keep your certification valid and to continue complying with the latest information security standards.

The transition to ISO/IEC 27001:2022

ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for Information Security. It provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS) within an organization. If your organization is currently ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified, it is important to make the transition to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 in a timely manner. Here are some steps you can take to ensure you meet the new requirements on time:

Start with a Gap Analysis / Transition Plan

Conduct a thorough analysis of your current ISMS to identify which components need to be adjusted to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This helps identify any gaps in your system and develop an action plan.

Engage Management

Ensure that top management is fully informed about the changes and their role in the success of the transition. It is essential that they commit to the organization's information security objectives.

Update Your Documentation and Processes

Update your documentation and processes to align with the new standards. If you work with the uComply App, implementation guidelines and templates are available to guide you quickly and effectively through this transition process.

Train Your Employees

Ensure your employees are well-informed and trained on the new requirements and changes in working methods. This ensures that everyone in the organization is aware of their responsibilities regarding information security.

Plan the Audit and Transition Period

Work with an accredited certification body to plan the transition to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Ensure you have sufficient time to complete the transition before the October 31, 2025 deadline, so your certification remains valid.
