The control as we hold it
Information security event reporting. A mechanism is to be provided so personnel can report information security events they notice or suspect, promptly and through the right channels. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): supports timely, consistent and effective reporting of events personnel can identify. 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 6.8.
