Getting started: your first 30 days toward ISO 27001:2022 readiness

The first month should create clarity: scope, ownership, evidence inventory, risk visibility, and a sequenced path to closing the most material gaps.

Getting started: your first 30 days toward ISO 27001:2022 readiness

The first 30 days of ISO 27001:2022 readiness should not be spent polishing documents in isolation. Start by confirming scope, owners, current controls, and the evidence already available.

Next, identify the controls where evidence is missing or stale. Prioritize gaps that affect risk treatment, access control, supplier security, incident readiness, and management oversight.

By the end of the first month, the goal is not perfection. The goal is a credible baseline, a clear gap list, and a roadmap that turns readiness into scheduled work rather than a vague future project.
