The control as we hold it
Access rights. Access rights to information and associated assets are to be granted, reviewed, changed and withdrawn in line with the access control rules and policy the organization has set. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): keeps access to information and assets defined and approved against what the business needs. 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 5.18.
