  • TL;DR: Yes, ISO 2700{1,2} are a low barrier of entry but a common set of controls that should be able to be applied anywhere.

    The biggest hurdle to deploying any framework is updating the cycle of controls and keeping them aligned both with management and with the parties implementing them. There is as much non-infosec work as there is actual implementation of the controls.

    • Policy Statement: Management guideline / statement to be followed
    • Process: The flow to follow in order to meet that policy statement
    • Procedure: The steps to follow in order to enable the process
    • Standard: The measurement of the compliance with the policy statement

    Each one of the (Annex A) 14 domains has specific controls within the ISMS (27001) that each need the above implementation steps in a big ol’ spreadsheet. Then the technical controls within ISO 27002 need to be applied, documented, and supporting evidence gathered as well.

    For implementing ISO 27002 I’d highly recommend looking at Common Criteria or the CIS controls that map 27002 to CIS.
