Understanding ISO 27001 Clauses in depth

Clause-by-clause reading of the standard

This playlist suits anyone who has the ISO 27001 standard in front of them and finds the clauses hard to connect. Rather than giving a general overview, it works through the clauses and their requirements in detail, which is useful for readers preparing an information security management system or auditing one.

How to get the most from it

• Read the standard's clause text alongside each video so the terms line up
• Keep a running list of the requirements that apply to your own organization
• Note which clauses your existing policies already cover and which are gaps

Who should watch

Information security staff, compliance analysts and internal auditors will find the clause focus most useful. Beginners may want a short introduction to ISO 27001 first, since the detailed clause discussion is easier to follow once you know what the standard is for.
