ISO 27001
Also known as: ISO/IEC 27001
The international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Frequently held by enterprise contractors but does not satisfy CMMC.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS), developed by the International Organization for Standardization. Organizations achieve ISO 27001 certification by establishing a documented ISMS, implementing the controls in Annex A, and undergoing third-party certification audits.
ISO 27001 is **not** equivalent to CMMC. The control catalogs are different, the audit ecosystems are different, and the assessment methodologies are different.
That said, an organization with mature ISO 27001 controls is well-positioned to pursue CMMC. Many of the ISO 27001 Annex A controls map closely to NIST SP 800-171 requirements.
