ISO 27001, the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), underwent a significant revision in 2022. One of the key changes was the introduction of a new transition period (Transition Period: ISO 27001:2022). This article will explore this transition period in detail.
Transition Period in ISO 27001:2013
When ISO 27001:2013 was introduced, organizations that were certified under the previous version of the standard were given a transition period to update their ISMS to meet the new requirements1. This transition period allowed organizations to gradually implement the changes and ensure their ISMS remained compliant with the standard.
Transition Period in ISO 27001:2022
The 2022 revision of ISO 27001 introduced a new transition period. Organizations that are currently certified to ISO 27001:2013 will have three years to transition to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The transition period began on October 31, 2022, and ends on October 31, 2025. Certifications based on ISO 27001:2013 will expire or be withdrawn at the end of the transition period.
Conclusion – Transition Period ISO 27001:2022
The introduction of a new transition period in ISO 27001:2022 represents a significant evolution of the standard. By providing organizations with a three-year window to transition to the new standard, ISO 27001:2022 ensures that organizations have ample time to update their ISMS and remain compliant with the standard. However, it’s important for organizations to understand these changes and adapt their ISMS accordingly to ensure continued compliance with the standard.
