Cybersecurity Standard
ISO 27001:2022 Implementation
ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized benchmark for information security. Ensure peace of mind for your business, compliance with NIS2 and GDPR legal requirements, and build trust with your partners.
What is an Information Security Management System?
In today’s digital world, data is your most valuable asset. The international norm ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System – ISMS) provides a structured framework for managing information risk. It is not just a set of IT rules, but a comprehensive business strategy that encompasses three key elements: people, processes, and technology.
Implementing this system ensures that your organization applies adequate controls to protect against cyberattacks, human errors, and technical failures. This transforms the way you handle confidential information – from physical office access to database encryption.
Certification to this standard is also a key requirement for working with corporate clients and participating in international tenders. Learn more at the official ISO.org website.
New Version ISO/IEC 27001:2022
In October 2022, the standard underwent a significant update to address modern threats such as ransomware and cloud technologies.
Simplified Structure
The number of controls in Annex A has been reduced from 114 to 93, regrouped into 4 logical themes: Organizational, People, Physical, and Technological.
New Controls
11 entirely new requirements have been introduced, including controls for Threat Intelligence, Cloud Security, and Data Masking.
Cybersecurity Focus
The new version places a stronger emphasis on cyber resilience and business continuity, making it fully compatible with the NIS2 directive.
The Foundation of ISMS
Effective protection is built upon the CIA model (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability). Here is what this means for your business:
Confidentiality
Ensuring that information is accessible only to authorized individuals. This includes access rights management and data leak prevention.
Integrity
Protecting the accuracy and completeness of assets. Procedures prevent unauthorized changes, human errors, or data sabotage.
Availability
Ensuring continuous access to services for authorized users. Includes Business Continuity Plans (BCP) and Disaster Recovery protocols.
Alignment with European Regulations
In an environment of increased regulatory pressure, having an implemented security system is a strategic advantage. It proves that your organization takes information protection responsibly.
GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation requires “technical and organizational measures”. The certificate serves as independent validation before regulators and partners that these measures are in place and functioning effectively.
The NIS2 Directive
The new EU directive expands the circle of obligated entities. The ISO/IEC 27001 framework covers almost all NIS2 requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and supply chain security. Read more on the European Commission website.

Our Approach to Implementation
01
Diagnostics & GAP Analysis
We conduct a detailed audit of your current processes. We compare them with the requirements of the new standard version and prepare a detailed report on the gaps that need to be addressed.
02
Risk Assessment
We identify assets and threats. We prepare the “Statement of Applicability” (SoA) – the document that describes which security controls are applicable to your specific operations.
03
Implementation & Audit
We develop the necessary policies and procedures. We train your staff to work with them and conduct a pre-certification audit to ensure successful passing of the final verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Certification is voluntary, but it is increasingly becoming a mandatory commercial requirement. For companies falling under the scope of the Cybersecurity Act and the NIS2 directive, implementing measures equivalent to the standard is a legal obligation.
The timeline depends on the size of the organization and the maturity of its processes. Typically, projects last between 3 and 9 months. “Dimitrovi Standard” prepares an individual schedule for each client.
Yes, absolutely. All modern ISO standards use the Annex SL structure. This allows for the easy creation of an Integrated Management System (IMS), which saves maintenance time and reduces external audit costs.
