New control 5.7 of ISO 27001: 2023

The ISO 27001:23 standard seeks adaptation to the current context, strengthening techniques and processes related to information security.

The new 5.7 threat intelligence control seeks organizations to adopt a proactive and cyber resilient attitude to the collection, analysis and production of threat intelligence with respect to information security threats.

This update seeks to help organizations better understand their threat environment, thus managing to protect themselves more effectively.

For this reason, BeOneSec has designed a specific service to comply with the new 5.7 control. This is designed so that organizations can understand their threat environment and thus be able to make better decisions by having the necessary information to be one step ahead in protecting their organization.

What is threat intelligence and why is it necessary?

Request a meeting

Acting with intelligence implies the ability to choose between different options, which makes it possible to prevent and combat cyberthreats.

The new control 5.7 of the ISO 27001 standard provides organizations with a roadmap to limit the effects of potential threats by understanding the environment in which they operate.

Through threat intelligence in BeOneSec, we help support and substantiate decision-making with data and information, allowing organizations to effectively anticipate, detect and respond to potential risks and threats.

What are the requirements of the new 5.7 control?

Start applying it

Control 5.7 is designed to help organizations understand their threat environment and to make appropriate decisions to maintain information security based on the threats they identify.

To this end, we take into account the three levels of intelligence set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Strategic intelligence.

A proactive strategy involves understanding the environment in which your organisation operates. This requires the sharing of high-level information about current threats and the types of attackers. This strategic intelligence provides a panoramic view of the environment, allowing you to anticipate potential risks and strengthen your defences.

Tactical Intelligence.

With a comprehensive assessment of the nature and scope of threats to understand their behaviour and motivations to establish patterns. By analysing the behaviour of threats, we can identify patterns and improve the security of the organisation.

Operational intelligence.

Knowing how attackers operate is critical to predicting their movements. Understanding potential attackers gives us the edge we need to effectively protect our systems and data.

How to meet the requirements of control 5.7.

The effectiveness of the security controls that protect the organization depends on the quality of threat intelligence.

Mor information

We conduct regular analyses of the organization’s threat environment.

We developed a protocol to determine possible new attack vectors and analyzed trends.

We identify threat sources that could endanger the organization’s security.

We help build strong defenses to mitigate threats.

It’s easy to help, with things we know how to do.

Benefits of ISO 27001

Implementing an Information Security Management System in accordance with ISO 27001 inspires trust in both customers and suppliers by ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.

This demonstrates the ability to face the current context marked by the rapid evolution, complexity and sophistication of threats.

It guarantees that best practices have been implemented to safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of information.

It improves credibility with third parties.

It favors tenders and contracts with public institutions.

It makes it easier to make better decisions by having the necessary information to do so.

It promotes access to global markets.

It reduces the recurring administrative burden of testing information security measures.

What you should know about threat intelligence control 5.7.

All regulations raise questions on a frequent and recurring basis. Therefore, we want to help you solve them, here are some of them, but you can always contact us to solve them all.

Where is ISO 27001 control 5.7?

Control 5.7 is one of the controls in Annex A of the ISO 27001 standard. Annex A is part of the standard that lists a set of classified security controls that organizations use to demonstrate compliance with the standard. Annex A provides organizations with a simple set of guidance from which to develop a well-structured information security plan that meets their unique business and operational needs.

What are the penalties for not applying ISO 27001 control 5.7?

The ISO 27001 standard is a voluntary adherence standard and therefore no sanctions are applied. It is essential to evaluate your organization’s unique information security risks before establishing a resolution on which controls to install and choosing which controls that will help reduce identifiable risks and illustrating why certain controls have not been selected.

How long does it take to implement the new control 5.7 of ISO 27001?

Usually, the deployment time of the Threat Intelligence service in BeOneSec is a maximum of 1-2 weeks, depending on the specific characteristics of each organization.

What do I need to deploy in my organization for 5.7 control compliance?

Nothing. At BeOneSec, we make regular deliveries of threat intelligence reports detailing how threats impact your organization and how to combat them, thus closely monitoring the organization’s exposure.
