Data Protection Is a Strategic Priority. As more organizations handle PHI, PII, financial records, and AI-derived data, the risk of breach and regulatory non-compliance grows.
At TechKraft Inc., we deal with companies that handle sensitive healthcare, fintech, and enterprise platform data. Our clients trust us to build, manage, and secure systems that demand absolute integrity-and we take that responsibility seriously.
What Is ISO 27001-and why the 2022 Upgrade Matters
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It outlines a systematic approach to managing sensitive company and customer information, so it remains secure. It includes people, processes, technology, and risk management — all working together to protect data from threats like breaches, leaks, and misuse. Being ISO 27001 certified means that an independent certification body has verified that we follow strict, best-practice security controls — and regularly audit and improve them.
Since its introduction in 2005, ISO 27001 has evolved alongside the rapidly changing digital landscape. Each revision of the standard reflects the growing complexity of information security challenges faced by businesses worldwide. You can read more about the history and evolution of ISO 27001 here.
The ISO 27001:2022 update reflects a strategic shift in how modern organizations are expected to manage information security. Unlike the 2013 version, which focused primarily on baseline controls, the new standard introduces forward-looking requirements that better align with today’s cyber risks and cloud-native infrastructure.
What’s New in ISO 27001:2022?
The 2022 update brings several important technical and structural changes. Here are the most relevant ones — and how we’ve implemented them:
1. Updated Security Control Structure
The previous version had 114 controls categorized across 14 domains. ISO 27001:2022 reduces this to 93 controls, grouped into four themes: organizational, people, physical, and technological. While the number is lower, the controls are now more focused, less redundant, and better aligned with how modern, cloud-based businesses operate.
To align with the updated framework, TechKraft conducted a thorough review and restructuring of its documentation, policies, and implementation roadmap. This streamlined approach simplifies audits, enhances training effectiveness, and supports more efficient ongoing management.
2. Introduction of New Controls
These new controls address current risks such as cloud security, secure coding, data leakage, threat intelligence, data leakage prevention, and more.
At TechKraft, a dedicated Threat Intelligence Program has been implemented to proactively monitor and assess emerging vulnerabilities. Secure coding practices have been formalized and embedded into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that developers adhere to security best practices from the design phase through to deployment.
Cloud service governance has been integrated into vendor onboarding and review processes, reinforcing oversight of third-party platforms.
Furthermore, data deletion protocols, masking techniques, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) mechanisms have been thoroughly evaluated and enhanced to meet evolving compliance expectations.
3. Risk Management and Planning Refinement
ISO 27001:2022 emphasizes more actionable planning. Risk treatment plans must now be more precise, and security objectives need to be measurable.
In response, TechKraft refined its risk register to better reflect both asset-based and event-based risks and defined measurable KPIs to track key security objectives, including incident response time, training effectiveness, and vulnerability remediation cycles.
Additionally, the company enhanced its change management documentation to include information security impact assessments.
4. Statement of Applicability (SoA) Updates
As several controls were merged or renamed, TechKraft conducted a complete revision of its Statement of Applicability to align with the updated control set. Each control was re-evaluated in the context of operational relevance, and the rationale for inclusion or exclusion was newly documented. This approach ensures both internal transparency and external audit-readiness.
What Changed Internally.
As part of our transition to ISO 27001:2022, TechKraft implemented a comprehensive upgrade to its Information Security Management System (ISMS), ensuring it reflects today’s evolving risk landscape.
Refined Risk Assessment Approach
Our methodology now accounts for broader threat vectors—including third-party vulnerabilities, emerging cyber risks, and supply chain disruptions—beyond traditional asset-based analysis.
Adoption of the New Annex A Control Framework
We’ve implemented the revised 93 security controls structured across four domains: Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological. This brings improved clarity, traceability, and accountability across all levels of our operations.
Expanded Oversight of Cloud and Supplier Security
Recognizing that client data security extends beyond our own infrastructure, we’ve strengthened due diligence and monitoring across all third-party platforms and service providers.
Integrated Business Continuity Planning
Our ISMS is now closely aligned with disaster recovery and operational resilience strategies—ensuring uninterrupted service, even under adverse conditions.
What This Means for Clients and Partners
For our clients, technology partners, and stakeholders, this upgrade is more than a certification milestone—it represents measurable improvements in security, compliance, and operational trust.
- Greater protection of sensitive data, especially in complex, cloud-native environments
- Improved assurance that TechKraft aligns with the latest international security standards.
- Improved resilience against cyber threats against cyber threats, supply chain risks, and service disruptions.
- Simplified vendor risk assessments, as TechKraft remains fully audit-ready, transparent, and documentation-driven
What’s Next: Techkraft’s Ongoing Security Commitment
Information security is a continuous journey. While ISO 27001:2022 strengthens our foundation, TechKraft is committed to ongoing enhancement across all layers of our ISMS.
Looking ahead, we are investing in:
- Increased automation for security monitoring and compliance reporting
- Expanded third-party oversight, including enhanced due diligence and access controls
- Regular internal audits and threat modeling to proactively adapt to emerging risks
Our goal remains the same: to offer clients a security-first delivery model that evolves alongside their needs
