For CISOs, Information Security Managers, and Compliance Officers
Build and maintain an Information Security Management System with automated control mapping, risk treatment, and continuous assessment against Annex A controls.
ISO 27001:2022 is the international standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Certification requires demonstrating that your organization has identified information security risks, selected appropriate controls to treat them, and operates those controls effectively.
The 2022 revision reorganized Annex A into 4 control themes — Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological — with 93 controls. Beyond implementing controls, ISO 27001 requires a formal risk assessment methodology, a Statement of Applicability, management commitment, internal audits, and a cycle of continual improvement.
“ISO 27001 is not a technology standard — it's a management system standard. The challenge is proving that your security program is systematic, risk-based, and continuously improving.”
Initial certification is achievable with focused effort. Maintaining it is where organizations struggle. The ISMS requires ongoing risk assessments, regular internal audits, management reviews, and evidence that controls remain effective between surveillance audits. Teams that used spreadsheets and manual tracking to get certified find that sustaining the ISMS competes with operational priorities.
Common drift patterns include: risk registers that aren't updated when the threat landscape changes, internal audits that become checkbox exercises, corrective actions that are logged but not tracked to completion, and a Statement of Applicability that no longer reflects the actual control environment.
Thirdsentry provides the operational backbone for your ISMS. The platform maps your controls to all 93 Annex A controls, identifies gaps in coverage, and maintains a living risk register where risk treatment decisions are tracked alongside the controls that implement them.
Internal assessments run against ISO 27001 requirements with AI-powered scoring that evaluates control maturity, flags deterioration, and generates findings that feed directly into your corrective action pipeline. Evidence linked to controls in the vault provides continuous proof of operation — not just a snapshot assembled before the surveillance audit.
The compliance calendar tracks recurring ISMS obligations: management reviews, internal audits, risk reassessments, and policy reviews. When a deadline approaches, the right people are notified. When an action is completed, evidence is captured automatically.
Map your controls to all 93 ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls across Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological themes.
Link risk register entries to treatment decisions (mitigate, accept, transfer, avoid) and the controls that implement them.
Maintain a living SoA that reflects your actual control environment and justifies exclusions.
Run AI-powered assessments that evaluate control effectiveness and generate findings with remediation guidance.
Track ISMS obligations — management reviews, internal audits, risk reassessments — with automated reminders.
Corrective actions from assessments and audits flow into tracked remediation tasks with owners and deadlines.
Yes. Thirdsentry's ISO 27001 framework is based on the 2022 revision with all 93 Annex A controls organized into the four themes: Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological.
Yes. The platform supports both the initial implementation phase (gap analysis, control mapping, risk assessment) and ongoing compliance maintenance (continuous assessment, evidence collection, internal audit support).
Risks identified through assessments are automatically added to the risk register with inherent scoring. As you apply controls, residual scores update. Risk treatment decisions (mitigate, accept, transfer, avoid) are tracked and linked to the controls that implement them.
