Understanding the controls related to incident management from Annex of ISO 27001:2022
Security incidents, events, and weaknesses are addressed in the Annex A controls from 5.24 to 5.28 and 6.8 of ISO 27001. These controls aim to ensure that incidents, events, and weaknesses are handled in a uniform and effective manner throughout their life cycle.
A.5.24 – information security incident management planning and preparation
To provide a prompt, efficient, and well-organized reaction to resolve vulnerabilities, events, and security incidents, the management of an organization needs to define roles, responsibilities, and procedures. An incident is where the CIA triad is affected.
Prior to the occurrence of an incident, the protocols for incident, event, and response planning need to be well established and approved by the leadership. During an audit, the formal, documented procedures are expected to be in place, along with evidence that they are working.
