Overview

kSIST FprEN ISO/IEC 27000:2026 provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and principles that underpin information security management systems (ISMS), cybersecurity, and privacy protection. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and aligned with international efforts, this standard acts as a foundational, horizontal document, offering clear guidance on terminology and frameworks relevant for organizations seeking to structure their information security management. The overview emphasizes the relationship between ISO/IEC 27000 and other essential ISMS-related standards, including ISO/IEC 27001, and helps businesses understand the rationale and implementation strategies for robust information security and risk management.

Key Topics

  • Information Security Principles

    • Focus on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information
    • Emphasis on information as a critical business asset, regardless of its format or ownership
  • Risk Management

    • Understanding risk as a combination of likelihood and consequence
    • Ongoing risk assessment and treatment as core ISMS activities
    • Implementation of controls (preventive, detective, corrective) to manage and mitigate risks
  • ISMS Purpose and Importance

    • Role of ISMS in safeguarding information assets and ensuring compliance with laws, regulations, and contracts
    • Strategic integration with business objectives and stakeholder requirements
  • Process Approach

    • Coordination between business processes and security measures
    • Scope definition to encompass all relevant information and resources
  • Continual Improvement

    • ISMS should be regularly reviewed, maintained, and adapted to evolving threats and organizational changes

Applications

Organizations across all sectors can apply the concepts from kSIST FprEN ISO/IEC 27000:2026 for multiple practical purposes:

  • Establishing an Information Security Management System

    • Use the standard as a roadmap for setting up, implementing, and maintaining an ISMS aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements
  • Risk Identification and Control Selection

    • Facilitate continual risk identification, assessment, and mitigation through informed selection of controls
  • Compliance and Certification Preparation

    • Adopt the standard to prepare for ISMS audits and certifications, ensuring documentation and controls meet international best practices
  • Integration with Business Operations

    • Align information security processes with overall business goals and processes for maximum efficiency
  • Stakeholder Communication

    • Demonstrate commitment to information security to customers, partners, regulators, and other interested parties

Related Standards

kSIST FprEN ISO/IEC 27000:2026 serves as the entry point to the ISO/IEC 27000 series, providing context and linking to the following related standards:

  • ISO/IEC 27001: Specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an ISMS
  • ISO/IEC 27002: Offers guidelines for information security controls applicable within and outside an ISMS
  • ISO/IEC 27003: Delivers practical guidance for ISMS implementation as per ISO/IEC 27001
  • ISO/IEC 27004: Focuses on monitoring, measurement, analysis, and evaluation of ISMS
  • ISO/IEC 27005: Guidance for managing information security risks in accordance with ISO 31000
  • ISO/IEC 27007: Covers guidelines for ISMS auditing
  • ISO/IEC 27010, 27011, 27017, 27019: Sector-specific guidance for particular industries such as telecommunications, cloud services, and utilities
  • ISO/IEC 27006-1: Defines requirements for auditing and certification bodies for ISMS
  • Additional guidance: Included for integration (ISO/IEC 27013), governance (ISO/IEC 27014), economic aspects (ISO/IEC 27016), and technical assessment (ISO/IEC 27008, 27021, 27022, 27028)

Summary

kSIST FprEN ISO/IEC 27000:2026 is essential for organizations seeking to understand and manage information security risks, lay the groundwork for a resilient ISMS, and achieve compliance with globally recognized best practices in cybersecurity and privacy protection.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent
rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of
patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee
SC 27, Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition (ISO/IEC 27000:2018), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the title has been modified;
— the structure of the document has been changed to stress its primary role, which is to provide an
overview of, and relationships between documents related to ISMS (information security management
systems) including ISO/IEC 27001;
— text presenting the concepts and principles of information security and information security management
systems has been added;
— Clause 3 contains definitions for those terms used in presenting the concepts and principles ISO/IEC 27000;
— ISO/IEC 27000 is no longer a terminology document.

4 Concepts and principles
4.1 Concepts
4.1.1 The need for information security
Organizations of all types and sizes:
a) collect, process, store, transmit and delete information;
b) recognize that some information (and the associated information and communications technology,
software, processes and people) can help the organization to achieve its objectives, and can therefore be
regarded as an asset;
c) appreciate that some of this information belongs to other organizations (e.g. customers) and that they
should manage that information in accordance with the agreed requirements;
d) realise that the organization can suffer if information is disclosed, lacks or loses integrity or is not
available when it is required.

ISO/IEC DIS 27000:2025(en)
Confidentiality, integrity and availability of information are important properties of value to organizations.
The preservation of these properties is referred to as “information security”.
In this modern interconnected world, information and related processes, systems, and networks can
constitute critical business assets. Organizations and their information systems and networks face
information security threats from a wide range of sources, including human errors, computer-assisted
fraud, theft, espionage, sabotage, vandalism, fire, flood, and climate change. Damage to information systems
and networks caused by malicious code, computer hacking, and denial of service attacks have become more
common, more ambitious, and increasingly more sophisticated. The extent to which such events should
worry an organization depends on the likelihood of the occurrence of the event and the severity of the
consequences. The combination of likelihood and consequence is referred to as “risk”.
If the risk is unacceptable to the organization, it must be “treated”. Risk treatment is the process whereby
risks are modified, often through the implementation of information security controls. Ideally, the process
of treatment continues until the risk becomes acceptable to the organization.
