ISO 27001:2022: Fortify Your Cyber Defenses

In today's digital landscape, where cyber threats are ever-evolving, organisations must prioritise cybersecurity as a critical aspect of their operations. The migration to the updated ISO 27001:2022 standard is well underway, and for those who haven't yet made the transition, the time to act is now.

While the official deadline for compliance is October 2025, the complexities involved in migrating systems and processes often take longer than anticipated. At Adams + Oliver, we understand the intricacies of this transition firsthand, having successfully completed our own migration in December 2023. Through this experience, we gained valuable insights into the potential pitfalls organisations can encounter during the migration process.

Our Head of Quality Management and Information Security, Jo Drury, shares her top three tips for a seamless and successful migration:

1. Stay Ahead of Hackers with Threat Intelligence In the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, staying informed about emerging threats is crucial. Leverage threat intelligence to detect and prevent potential cyber threats before they can cause harm to your organization. Invest in robust threat monitoring and analysis tools to identify and mitigate risks proactively.
2. Protect Your Business with Mandatory Cyber Awareness Training Your employees are the first line of defense against cyber threats. Implement mandatory cyber awareness training programs to educate staff on the latest threats and best practices for maintaining a secure digital environment. Additionally, consider incorporating phishing simulations to test and reinforce their knowledge, ensuring they remain vigilant against social engineering attacks.
3. Adapt to Remote Work Security Demands The rise of remote work has introduced new cybersecurity challenges. Implement strict access controls, multi-factor authentication, and robust business continuity measures to safeguard your organization's data and systems. Regularly review and update your remote work policies and procedures to align with the evolving security landscape.
