How Safeguard covers ISO 27035

  • Scan requirements: 6, all decided by a scan.
  • Controls: the scan requirements below, plus 10 controls from Safeguard's control catalog for ISO 27035.
  • Automated tests: none map to it directly. You can link any automated test to its controls yourself (how).
  • Policy templates: 25: 3 written for ISO 27035 and 22 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 6 requirements against what the scan found, including the product's software inventory (SBOM).

RequirementWhat Safeguard checksDecided by
ISO27035-PLAN Plan and Prepare DocumentationIncident management requires prepared, current documentation of the environment to be defended, evidenced by identifiable and timestamped records of deployed software (ISO/IEC 27035-2 plan-and-prepare phase)Scan
ISO27035-DETECT Detection BaselineEffective detection and reporting of incidents presumes knowing what software is running so anomalies and affected assets can be recognised, i.e. a maintained component inventory (ISO/IEC 27035-1 detection and reporting phase)Scan
ISO27035-ASSESS Assessment and Decision ReadinessAssessing whether an event is an incident and deciding severity requires unambiguous identification of the components involved so they can be matched against threat intelligence (ISO/IEC 27035-1 assessment and decision phase)Scan
ISO27035-RESP Response Scoping by VersionResponding to incidents, including containment and eradication, requires version-level knowledge of deployed software to scope which instances are affected (ISO/IEC 27035-1 response phase)Scan
ISO27035-CONTACT Incident Reporting Contact PointsIncident management planning requires established points of contact for reporting and coordination, evidenced by contact details recorded with the software documentation (ISO/IEC 27035-2 incident management plan and contact provisions)Scan
ISO27035-SHARE Structured Records for CoordinationCoordination and lessons-learned activities depend on structured, shareable records, which for software estates means standardised machine-readable formats (ISO/IEC 27035-1 lessons learned and information sharing principles)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.
