Statement of Applicability

For 27001 and 42001 the statement is built from the control register. Every control, included or excluded, with a justification.

  • Record

    The statement

  • The standard

    ISO/IEC 27001

  • Where it is used

    From the control register

What it does

  • Every control is listed. Inclusion or exclusion is a decision, with a reason.
  • Implementation status sits on the control.
  • The statement is generated from that register. It is not a free-written document that can drift.

On the record

  • Change a control, and the statement changes with it.
  • A control with no justification stays open.
  • 45001, 9001, and the others do not pretend to need one.

The standard

  • ISO/IEC 27001

    The Statement of Applicability is required.

  • ISO/IEC 42001

    The Statement of Applicability is required, with the AI system impact assessment beside it.
