A.5.4 Management responsibilities
A.5.4 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
Management responsibilities. Managers are to insist that everyone working for the organization applies information security as the organization's policy, topic-specific policies and procedures lay down. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): ensures managers understand their information security role and act so that all personnel know and meet their responsibilities. 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 5.4.
