Control Purpose

The organization must prepare before incidents happen. It needs defined and communicated incident management processes, roles, responsibilities, escalation paths, and recovery coordination.

Use A.5.24 Information Security Incident Management Planning and Preparation for the detailed requirement, implementation guidance, audit checks, evidence expectations, and related ISO 27005 context.

Risk Logic

01 Security event
02 Weak reporting/preparation
03 Delayed response
04 Higher business impact
05 Incident management plan
06 Evidence
07 Audit

Detailed Note

No published risk scenario is linked to this control yet. Create or link a risk note under the risk knowledge base before treating this control as fully mapped.

Implementation Activities

See A.5.24 Information Security Incident Management Planning and Preparation.

Evidence Required

Audit Questions

  • AQ-ISO27001-A.5.24 Audit Question
  • How does the organization prove ISO27001-A.5.24 is implemented and operating?
  • What evidence shows ownership, review cadence, exceptions, and corrective action?
  • Which failed condition would create an audit finding for this control?

Map this control to risk monitoring, incident-driven risk reassessment, corrective action, and treatment effectiveness review.

Use ISO/IEC 27002 guidance to interpret incident management process, roles, reporting, recovery, and lessons-learned expectations.
