ISO 27001:2022 5.36: Compliance with policies, rules and standards for information security
How well the organization keeps to its security policy and to its topic policies, rules and standards is to be checked regularly. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): confirms security is put in place and run as the organization's policies, rules and standards require. 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 5.36.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 159 controls across 37 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
NIST-CSF-DE.CM-03 Personnel activity and technology usage are monitored to find potentially adverse events
NIST-CSF-GV.OC-04 Critical objectives, capabilities, and services that external stakeholders depend on or expect from the organization are understood and communicated
NIST-CSF-GV.OV-01 Cybersecurity risk management strategy outcomes are reviewed to inform and adjust strategy and direction
NIST-CSF-GV.PO-02 Policy for managing cybersecurity risks is reviewed, updated, communicated, and enforced to reflect changes in requirements, threats, technology, and organizational mission
NIST-CSF-ID.IM-02 Improvements are identified from security tests and exercises, including those done in coordination with suppliers and relevant third parties
NIST-CSF-ID.RA-08 Processes for receiving, analyzing, and responding to vulnerability disclosures are established
You are reading one control. How much of ISO 27001:2022 have you already done?
ISO 27001:2022 5.36 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of ISO 27001:2022 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 79 of 93 ISO 27001:2022 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 170 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
