Control ownership, implementation and evidence matter in an ISO/IEC 27001 context. Buying a protection product does not complete a management system.
Evaluation approach
Link the control's rationale, assets, owner and monitoring to risk assessment. Record exceptions and changes. Reassess risk and effectiveness when the product changes.
Application example
A control record for mobile transaction integrity should include false-positive review, policy-change authority and pre-release test ownership alongside the product name.
Limits and considerations
A supplier's certification does not automatically certify a customer's application or processes. Organization, scope and validity matter.
Checks and decisions
- Link controls to risk records
- Assign owners and measures
- Verify certification scope
Keep management-system evidence consistent with daily operations. Product ownership cannot compensate for a process that does not operate in practice.
