Requirements vary by agency and by tender, so always check the criteria set out in the specific procurement documents.
What is the difference between ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 27001:2022?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the most current version of the standard, released in October 2022. Key changes from the 2013 version include a restructured Annex A with 93 controls (down from 114) organised into 4 themes: Organisational, People, Physical, and Technological. 11 new controls were added, including threat intelligence, cloud security, and data masking. Organisations certified under the 2013 version were required to transition to the 2022 version by October 2025.
Can small businesses get ISO 27001 certified in Australia?
Yes — ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is applicable to organisations of all sizes, including small businesses, startups, and sole traders that handle sensitive information. UCS has certified businesses of all sizes across Australia. The ISMS scope is tailored to your organisation's actual information assets and operations.
What Australian Privacy Act obligations does ISO 27001 help address?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 directly supports compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). The standard's controls for data classification, access management, incident response, and risk treatment align with Privacy Act obligations — particularly around the handling, storage, and protection of personal information.
