How Safeguard covers ISO 27002

  • Scan requirements: 7, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 23 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for ISO 27002.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 23: 4 written for ISO 27002 and 19 from the standard set.

How each kind of coverage works, and what the readiness score counts: Compliance frameworks.

What a scan checks

Each scan of a product checks these 7 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
ISO27002-5.9 Inventory of Information and Associated AssetsAn inventory of information and other associated assets, including software, must be developed and maintained with identified owners, which for applications means a non-empty component inventory (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 5.9)Scan
ISO27002-5.19 Information Security in Supplier RelationshipsProcesses must manage the information security risks associated with the use of supplier products and services, which requires knowing the supplier of each software component in use (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 5.19)Scan
ISO27002-5.21 Managing Security in the ICT Supply ChainRisks associated with the ICT products and services supply chain must be managed, including visibility into how acquired components depend on further upstream components (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 5.21)Scan
ISO27002-8.8 Management of Technical VulnerabilitiesInformation about technical vulnerabilities of systems in use must be obtained and exposure evaluated, which requires version-level knowledge of every deployed component to match against advisories (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 8.8)Scan
ISO27002-8.9 Configuration ManagementConfigurations, including of software, must be established, documented and monitored, which excludes vague or floating version specifications that make the deployed configuration ambiguous (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 8.9)Scan
ISO27002-8.24 Use of Cryptography for IntegrityRules for the effective use of cryptography, including for protecting the authenticity and integrity of information, support verifying software artifacts via cryptographic hashes (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 8.24)Scan
ISO27002-5.37 Documented Operating ProceduresOperating procedures for information processing facilities must be documented and available, supported by identifiable, timestamped machine-readable records of what software those facilities run (ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control 5.37)Scan

More controls in the catalog

The framework's Controls tab lists its scan requirements and these controls from Safeguard's control catalog. Evidence them with automated tests, uploaded evidence, policies or an attestation.
