A.5.10 Acceptable use of information and other associated assets
A.5.10 in ISO 27001:2022 (ISO/IEC 27001:2022). All ISO 27001:2022 controls held. Open ISO 27001:2022 on the standards site.
The control as we hold it
Acceptable use of information and other associated assets. Rules on how information and other associated assets may acceptably be used, together with procedures for handling them, are to be identified, written down and put into practice. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): ensures information and associated assets are protected, used and handled appropriately. As an Annex A reference control, it is compared with the controls determined in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability as included or excluded, with the justification and implementation status (6.1.3 d); implementation guidance is ISO/IEC 27002:2022 5.10.
