About ISO/IEC 27005 Copilot
ISO/IEC 27005:2022, "Guidance on managing information security risks", is the supporting standard that operationalises the information security risk management requirements of ISO/IEC 27001. It elaborates the process the ISMS standard mandates in clause 6.1.2 (risk assessment), clause 6.1.3 (risk treatment), clause 8.2 (performing risk assessments) and clause 8.3 (implementing the risk treatment plan). The 2022 edition aligns its vocabulary and process structure with ISO 31000:2018 — context establishment, risk identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, and ongoing communication and monitoring — while keeping the asset-, threat- and vulnerability-oriented techniques security teams expect. ISO/IEC 27005 is guidance, not a certifiable standard: organisations are certified against ISO/IEC 27001, and 27005 is the method that makes the risk clauses auditable. ISMS Copilot helps you build the risk criteria, run identification and analysis, document the risk treatment plan, and trace each decision back to the relevant ISO/IEC 27001 clause and Annex A controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ISO/IEC 27005?
ISO/IEC 27005:2022 is the ISO/IEC standard that provides guidance on managing information security risks. It supports the risk management requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 (clauses 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 8.2 and 8.3) by describing the full process: context, risk identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, and continual communication and monitoring.
Can my organisation be certified to ISO/IEC 27005?
No. ISO/IEC 27005 is a guidance standard and is not certifiable. Organisations are certified against ISO/IEC 27001; ISO/IEC 27005 is the recognised method for performing the risk assessment and treatment that an ISO/IEC 27001 audit examines. ISMS Copilot does not issue certifications.
How does the ISO/IEC 27005 Copilot help?
It helps you establish risk criteria, perform risk identification and analysis, build and justify the risk treatment plan, and trace every decision back to the relevant ISO/IEC 27001 clause and Annex A controls so the process is audit-ready.
