ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – The global security standard for the cloud era
In an era of accelerated digital transformation, information security has evolved from a technical requirement into the foundation of digital trust. ISO/IEC 27001, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), defines the world’s leading framework for managing information security. It outlines how organizations establish, implement, monitor, and continually improve their Information Security Management System (ISMS) to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
The latest ISO/IEC 27001:2022 revision, released at the end of 2022, replaces the 2013 edition and introduces major updates to align with modern cloud-native and agile operating models. Key enhancements include:
- 11 new control categories emphasizing Cloud Security, Privacy Information Management, and Supply Chain Security.
- Streamlined control structure (93 controls instead of 114), simplifying integration with other management systems such as ISO 9001 or ISO 20000.
- Dynamic risk-assessment methodology tailored for hybrid and multi-cloud environments adopted by today’s enterprises.
By achieving certification under the 2022 standard, VNETWORK has modernized its entire risk-management framework, ensuring full alignment with the latest global security best practices.
Maintaining global security standards with operational excellence
Unlike initial certification focused on system establishment re-certification emphasizes maintenance and continuous improvement, proving that an organization not only meets the standard but also operates it effectively over time. Bureau Veritas UK’s evaluation covered document audits, on-site inspections across VNETWORK’s facilities, and annual surveillance audits to ensure full compliance.
This re-certification confirms that VNETWORK has strengthened its information-risk governance and achieved compatibility with the newest international security benchmarks. It demonstrates the company’s ability to sustain performance, minimize risk, and maintain resilient operations in increasingly complex digital environments.
An integrated ecosystem aligned with ISO 27001:2022
