1. Organizational Controls (37 Controls)

These controls set the foundation for security governance and risk management. They guide policies, roles, asset management, and incident response, embedding security into the organization’s DNA.

2. People Controls (8 Controls)

Security relies on people as much as on systems. These controls focus on assigning roles, responsibilities, training, and awareness, ensuring that everyone in the organization understands and upholds security practices.

3. Physical Controls (14 Controls)

Protecting data isn’t just digital—these controls secure the physical environment, from access to buildings to safe storage of hardware. They mitigate risks from unauthorized access or environmental hazards.

4. Technological Controls (34 Controls)

The tech backbone of security, these controls include encryption, network protection, and monitoring, defending against cyber threats and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.

Together, these four control categories form a balanced approach to managing security risks, protecting assets, and maintaining trust. ISO 27001’s structure enables organizations to address both digital and physical security with robustness.
