The control as we hold it
Disciplinary process. A formal disciplinary process is to be established and made known so that action can be taken against staff and relevant outside parties who break the security policy. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): ensures people understand the consequences of policy violations, deters violations and deals appropriately with those who commit them. 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 6.4.
