Annex A: Statement of Applicability
The Statement of Applicability lists the 93 information security controls of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A, whether they apply to the ISMS, why, which role owns them, and which policy describes how we meet them. It is published so customers and other interested parties can read it. How each control is implemented, with the evidence, is kept in the private Annex A implementation page, and every applicable control links to at least one risk in the risk register.
Justification: Risk treats a risk from the risk assessment, Legal is required by law or regulation (such as the GDPR), Contract is required by customer contracts, SLAs or tenders, Business is a business need of ours.
All controls apply. We exclude none, because each one supports the security of the SaaS products in scope.
