The document discusses how Thycotic products can help organizations meet various controls from the ISO 27001 standard.

ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security. It has 10 main sections that organizations must comply with to claim conformity. Sections 6-10 relate to implementing controls.

Thycotic can help implement controls related to access control, event logging, backups, and incident response according to the mapping provided.

MAPPING TO ISO 27001 CONTROLS


Thycotic helps organizations easily meet ISO 27001 requirements

OVERVIEW
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has put forth the ISO 27001 standard to help organizations
implement an Information Security Management System which “preserves the confidentiality, integrity and availability
of information by applying a risk management process and gives confidence to interested parties that risks are adequately
managed.”

ISO 27001 is divided into 10 main sections:


“Excluding any of the
1. Scope 6. Planning requirements specified in
2. Normative references 7. Support Clauses 4 to 10 is not
3. Terms and definitions 8. Operation acceptable with an organization that
claims conformity to this
4. Context of the organization 9. Performance evaluation
International Standard”
5. Leadership 10. Improvement.

This standard serves as a broad and flexible framework that can apply to organizations of all industry types and sizes. In
order for an organization to claim they are in compliance with ISO 27001, they must meet all requirements in sections 4
through 10 above.

Many of these sections highlight policies, planning, and procedures at the organization level - which are outside of the scope
this document. This document maps out how Thycotic can help organizations meet certain security controls outlined in
Annex SL. The controls annex applies to the following two sections:

The organization shall define and apply an information security risk treatment process to:

Section 6.1.3 (b) - determine all controls that are necessary to implement the information security risk treatment
options chosen;

Section 6.1.3 (c) - compare the controls determined in 6.1.3 (b) above with those in Annex A and verify that no
necessary controls have been omitted;

Section 6.1.3 (d) produce a Statement of Applicability that contains the necessary controls (see 6.1.3 b) and (c) and
justification for inclusions, whether they are implemented or not, and the justification for exclusions of controls
from Annex A;

The rest of this document outlines the controls that Thycotic can help organizations implement from the Annex. Each
section highlights whether Thycotic can help your organization meet the control, or if the control is not applicable to our
solution set. We have also included a checklist table at the end of this document to review control compatability at a glance.
