ISO 27001:2022 Annex A Controls

93 controls with practical Microsoft 365 implementation guidance. Each control page explains what it requires, how to implement it, and what auditors verify.

ISO 27001:2022 defines 93 Annex A controls across four categories. Generic guides describe these controls in theory. We implement them in practice — inside your Microsoft 365 tenant — and prove they're working with automated evidence collection.

What ISO 27001 actually requires

Clauses 4-10: The management system

Context, leadership, planning, support, operations, performance evaluation, and improvement — the seven clauses that define how your ISMS operates. These are mandatory, not optional.

Annex A: The 93 controls

Organisational (37), People (8), Physical (14), and Technological (34) controls. You select which apply via your Statement of Applicability — then prove each one works.

15 mandatory documents

Scope statement, risk assessment methodology, risk treatment plan, Statement of Applicability, information security policy, and 10 more. We generate these from your actual M365 configuration.
