ISO 27001:2022 5.33: Protection of records

Records are to be safeguarded against being lost, destroyed, falsified, accessed without authorization or released without authorization. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): ensures compliance with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations and societal expectations for protecting and keeping records available. As an Annex A reference control, it is compared with the controls determined in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability as included or excluded, with the justification and implementation status (6.1.3 d); implementation guidance is ISO/IEC 27002:2022 5.33.
