ISO 27001 Technical Security Audit & Compliance Checklist

Achieving ISO 27001 certification is a major milestone that proves your organization handles information assets securely. While much of ISO 27001 involves policies and procedures, passing the technical audit requires demonstrating strict control over your digital infrastructure.

Technical Audit Requirements for ISO 27001

To satisfy the technical controls of ISO 27001 (Annex A controls), your security team must document and demonstrate the following:

1. Information Asset Inventory (A.8.1.1) You must keep an updated, accurate inventory of all systems, domains, and data assets. You cannot protect what you don’t know exists.

2. Vulnerability Management (A.12.6.1) You must show that you proactively identify, evaluate, and patch security vulnerabilities on your public-facing servers.

3. Access Control & Exposed Interfaces (A.9) Only necessary ports and administration panels (like SSH or remote desktop) must be exposed. Unencrypted protocols must be disabled.
