What is ISO 27001 Manual?

There are basically two approaches for ISO 27001 Manual for Information Security Management System (ISMS):

  • The ISO 27001 Manual could be a document that explains how an organization will comply with the ISO 27001 requirements and which procedures will be used in the ISMS, or
  • The ISO 27001 Manual could be a bundle of all the documents that are produced for the ISMS – basically, the idea here would be to place all the policies, procedures, working instructions, forms, etc. into a single book so that they would be easier to read.

The ISO 27001:2013 Manual is a mandatory document in the ISMS that must describe how a company will implement its information security. It must define whether organizations are applicable and how they will be implemented.
