Control Purpose

When people work away from organization premises, the organization still has to protect information. That includes homes, hotels, coffee shops, customer sites, temporary offices, shared workspaces, and other remote locations.

Use A.6.7 Remote Working for the detailed requirement, implementation guidance, audit checks, evidence expectations, and related ISO 27005 context.

Risk Logic

01 Asset What must be protected: data, service, process, person, or facility.
02 Threat Event, actor, or condition that can cause harm.
03 Vulnerability Weakness that makes the threat relevant.
04 Risk Scenario with likelihood, impact, owner, and priority.
05 Treatment Avoid, mitigate, transfer, or accept the risk.
06 Control Safeguard selected through ISO 27001/27002 and the SoA.
07 Evidence Record proving the control exists and operates.
08 Audit Independent verification, finding, or assurance result.

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.
