Every candidate who is to become personnel is to undergo background verification before joining and on a continuing basis, within applicable law, regulation and ethics, and in proportion to business needs, the classification of the information they will reach and the perceived risk. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): confirms personnel qualify for and fit their roles when appointed and for as long as they stay. 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 6.1.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 48 controls across 33 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
You are reading one control. How much of ISO 27001:2022 have you already done?
ISO 27001:2022 6.1 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.
