What is ISO 27001:2022? 

ISO 27001:2022, issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), sets the current benchmark for an information security management system (ISMS). This revision is particularly attuned to the evolving demands of data security, addressing the intricacies of cloud services – a reflection of the standard's responsiveness to technological advancements.  

The ISO 27001:2022 iteration of the standard puts a sharper focus on tailoring security measures to the specific risks each business faces, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. It mandates rigorous monitoring of cloud-based activities, underscoring the need for meticulous management of virtual and cloud network environments.  

Such attention to detail in the ISO 27001:2022 standard is pivotal in a digital ecosystem like ours, where cloud computing is not just an option but a fundamental component of organizational infrastructure. It further enhances our cloud security controls ISO27017 – a cloud security specific add-on to the ISO27000 series/ISO27001:2022. 

Achieving ISO 27001:2022 certification is no small feat. It requires an organization to demonstrate a systematic and ongoing approach to managing sensitive company and customer information.  

The process is thorough: risk assessments, detailed audits, and continuous improvement plans are all part of the rigorous routine to comply with the standard. For Templafy, reaching this standard underscore our pledge to uphold state-of-the-art security measures, and it provides our clients with the assurance that their data is in secure hands. 

Templafy’s pledge to advanced security and compliance 

With the release of the updated ISO/IEC 27001 standard on October 25, 2022, the clock started ticking on a three-year timeline for organizations to transition from the 2013 certificate. For Templafy, this was an opportunity to elevate our security practices and ensure that our users benefit from the most current and comprehensive protections against digital threats. Read more about the changes from the 2013 standard here.  

Templafy’s users can now rest assured that our services are not just compliant, but are at the cutting edge, incorporating measures like: 

  • Threat intelligence 
  • Cloud service security 
  • Cloud configuration using Infrastructure as Code 
  • Secure coding practices 

These controls directly impact and enhance the security of our document automation services. Specifically, our use of Dynamics metadata, when paired with data loss prevention tools, fortifies our users’ defenses against data leakage – one of the critical new additions to the standard. 

The transition to the new version was rigorous and meticulous. We had to dissect the old and new side by side, pinpointing gaps, and identifying already-implemented measures versus those earmarked for future application.  

This task demanded a review of all our processes as well as alignment with the highest leadership level. The result? Templafy swiftly achieved certification under the new standard, a testament to our proactive stance on security and our commitment to exceeding baseline requirements. 

Setting the standard for cloud compliance 

Templafy's adherence to the ISO 27001:2022 standard underscores a clear dedication to robust security protocols. By integrating the latest controls and maintaining vigilant risk management, we ensure that our platform remains a secure environment for all our users.
