Compare ISO/IEC 27007:2020 with ISO 19011:2018

What is ISO/IEC 27007:2020 and who does it apply to?

ISO/IEC 27007:2020 is a compliance framework from International with 9 domains and 28 controls. ISO/IEC 27007 provides guidance on managing an ISMS audit programme, conducting audits, and evaluating the competence of ISMS auditors. It supplements ISO 19011 with ISMS-specific auditing guidance for both internal and external audits. Applicable to all organizations needing to conduct internal or external ISMS audits. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does ISO/IEC 27007:2020 actually require?

ISO/IEC 27007:2020 has 28 controls organised across 9 domains. The largest domains are Audit Activities (6 controls), Competence (5 controls), Programme Management (5 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of ISO/IEC 27007:2020 do I already cover?

ISO/IEC 27007:2020 maps to 187 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ISO 19011:2018 (50% coverage), ISO 19011 (18% coverage), ISO 31000:2018 (14% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
