Simplify Your ISO 27001 Implementation

Streamline ISMS setup with the editable Statement of Applicability template — a ready-to-use ISO 27001 document for SMEs and startups. Save time, improve consistency, and organise your compliance documentation efficiently. Fully editable and instantly downloadable for self-service use.

What Is This Product?

The Statement of Applicability (SoA) (ISO 27001) provides your organisation's inventory of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A controls, documenting applicability, justifications, implementation status, evidence, and approvals under Clause 6.1.3—serving as a foundational tool for risk-based control selection and traceability across the ISMS.

It links to risk registers and treatment plans, helping justify exclusions, track changes, and demonstrate compliance and Top Management accountability to auditors while supporting continual improvement.

This is a functional tool designed to document a specific ISMS requirement (e.g. control applicability and justification), and is not the full system framework.

Please Note: This self-service ISO 27001 template is for informational purposes only and does not provide professional or legal advice. While it cannot guarantee certification or compliance outcomes, it is designed to help you streamline documentation and support compliance efforts.

  • It won’t complete your ISMS implementation automatically — you’ll still need to apply the template to your organisation’s processes.
  • It doesn’t replace internal decision-making or professional advice — check with qualified experts if needed.
  • It isn’t a customised consultancy deliverable or ongoing support service — you’ll need to tailor it for your organisation.
  • It won’t guarantee ISO 27001 certification — certification depends on your implementation, evidence, and audit outcomes.
  • It does not come as a book, digital book, eBook, or printed materials — it is a fully editable digital template for self-service use.
