Build an auditor-ready Statement of Applicability
The Statement of Applicability is one of the first documents an ISO 27001 auditor asks for. It records which Annex A controls apply to your ISMS, why any are excluded, and whether each one is implemented. This template lists all 93 controls from ISO/IEC 27001:2022 with their descriptions, so your team can record each decision, link it to the policy or procedure that proves it, and keep it current through surveillance audits.
