Cornerstone.IT Transitioning to the New ISO 27001:2022 Standard
by Lester Shaun Maquinao & Edgar Macasaquit, Network Operations Engineers
Cornerstone.IT has successfully completed its transition to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard following a formal audit. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining a secure, resilient, and compliant information environment for our clients.
Why We Transitioned
As an IT provider serving law firms and professional services organizations, Cornerstone.IT regularly evaluates its internal processes to align with industry best practices. Transitioning to the 2022 version of ISO 27001 ensures that our security framework remains current, relevant, and effective.
The 2022 revision introduces several updates:
- A more organized set of rules and tools to help manage systems more efficiently.
- Putting in new controls to better manage cloud-based systems, detect online threats early, and protect private information by hiding or disguising it.
These changes reflect the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats and the increasing reliance on cloud-based infrastructure and remote work environments.
What Is ISO 27001:2022 ?
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized framework for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It helps organizations manage risks related to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability through a structured set of policies, procedures, and controls.
