In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, information security is more critical than ever. ISO/IEC 27001 serves as the international benchmark for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The recently released ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Amendment 1, also known as the Climate Action Changes, marks an essential update to this standard, emphasizing the integration of climate change considerations into your information security strategy.
Released in February 2024, this amendment introduces new requirements that organisations must be aware of as they strive for compliance and operational excellence.
As we look ahead to 2025, understanding these changes will be vital for organisations seeking to enhance their cybersecurity frameworks in a world increasingly impacted by environmental challenges.
Selecting a UKAS-accredited certification body, such as Risk Associates – a UKAS-accredited certification body (10720), is vital for ensuring your organisation's compliance with ISO 27001 standards. UKAS accreditation signifies that the certification process adheres to rigorous quality standards and best practices, providing assurance to stakeholders about your commitment to information security. By partnering with a reputable body, you gain access to expert guidance, ensuring that you effectively implement the necessary changes while aligning with industry standards. This not only enhances your organisation's credibility but also fosters trust among clients and partners, ultimately contributing to long-term success and sustainability in an increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.
As we approach 2025, organisations will need to adapt to an increasingly complex landscape where cybersecurity and climate action intersect. The ISO 27001:2022 Amendment 1 positions businesses to proactively address these challenges, ensuring that climate-related risks are adequately integrated into their information security strategies.
In the coming years, stakeholders will likely place greater emphasis on sustainability and climate responsibility. This means organisations that prioritize climate action within their ISMS will not only comply with standards but also enhance their reputation and trust with customers and partners.
The ISO 27001:2022 Amendment 1 is a significant step towards incorporating climate considerations into the fabric of information security management. At Risk Associates, we believe that understanding and implementing these changes is not just about compliance—it’s about enhancing your organisation's resilience in the face of evolving challenges.
If climate change is already on your agenda, you are likely already addressing these requirements through other standards and initiatives. However, if it’s not, we’re here to navigate these changes smoothly and efficiently.
