ISO 27001 • Governance • Audit readiness
ISO 27001 Documentation Pack (IT + Security)
ISO isn’t paperwork. It’s proof that controls exist, work, and are maintained.
What auditors really want
- Policy: what you claim you do.
- SOP: how you actually do it.
- Evidence: proof it happened (records, logs, approvals).
- Consistency: same method, repeatable cadence.
Minimum document set (high ROI)
Policies
Access control, asset management, incident response, backup/DR, acceptable use, vendor security.
SOPs
Onboarding/offboarding, patching, vulnerability management, change management, alert handling, backup testing.
Standards
Password/MFA standard, logging standard, endpoint hardening baseline, retention standard.
Records
Risk register, asset register, access reviews, patch reports, incident logs, training records.
Evidence mapping (simple method)
Control: Endpoint protection
Policy: Endpoint Security Policy
SOP: EDR Deployment + Alert Triage SOP
Evidence: Agent health report + monthly detection report + incident ticketsThis mapping is what makes ISO “real” and defensible.
