A Practical Guide to Implementing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A Technological Controls 8.1–8.34
Created by SF Trainings Team
This course provides comprehensive training on the 34 technological controls included in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A, Section 8. These controls focus on protecting information systems, networks, applications, devices, data, and technology infrastructure from cyber threats, unauthorized access, system failures, data loss, and operational disruption.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of important areas such as endpoint security, privileged access, secure authentication, malware protection, vulnerability management, configuration management, data masking, data leakage prevention, information backup, logging, network security, cryptography, secure development, security testing, outsourced development, change management, and protection during audit testing.
The course explains the purpose of each control, the risks it addresses, the security measures organizations should implement, and the types of documented evidence required to demonstrate compliance. Practical examples and common workplace scenarios help participants understand how the controls can be applied across different organizational environments.
By completing this course, learners will be better prepared to support the implementation, maintenance, auditing, and continual improvement of technological security controls within an Information Security Management System. The course is suitable for information security professionals, IT teams, system administrators, developers, auditors, consultants, compliance personnel, and anyone involved in implementing or managing ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
You will learn to:
Technological Controls Overview
Understand the purpose, structure, and practical application of all 34 technological controls in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A, Section 8.
Endpoint and Access Security
Learn how to secure user devices, restrict information access, control privileged rights, and implement strong authentication.
Malware and Vulnerability Protection
Understand how to prevent malware infections, identify technical vulnerabilities, prioritize risks, and manage remediation activities.
Secure Configuration Management
Learn how to establish secure configuration baselines, harden systems, monitor configuration drift, and control software installations.
Data Protection and Privacy
Explore secure information deletion, data masking, data leakage prevention, encryption, and cryptographic key management.
Backup and System Availability
Learn how backup, restoration testing, capacity planning, and system redundancy support availability and business continuity.
Logging and Security Monitoring
Understand how to create, protect, review, and correlate logs to detect suspicious behaviour and support investigations.
Clock Synchronization
Learn how accurate and consistent system time improves event correlation, security monitoring, auditing, and forensic analysis.
Privileged Tools and Utilities
Understand how to authorize, restrict, log, and monitor powerful utility programs capable of bypassing security controls.
Network Security Controls
Learn how to secure networks, network devices, communication channels, remote connections, and wireless services.
Network Segregation
Understand how firewalls, VLANs, security zones, and access-control rules isolate sensitive systems and restrict lateral movement.
Network Services and Web Filtering
Learn how to secure internal and external network services while blocking malicious, fraudulent, and unsafe websites.
Secure System Architecture
Apply defence-in-depth, least privilege, secure-by-design, secure-by-default, and attack-surface reduction principles.
Secure Development Life Cycle
Understand how security requirements and activities are integrated into planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
Application Security Requirements
Learn how to define authentication, authorization, data protection, input validation, logging, and session-security requirements.
Secure Coding Practices
Identify insecure coding patterns and apply input validation, output encoding, secret management, secure error handling, and dependency controls.
Security Testing
Explore code reviews, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, application testing, remediation, retesting, and acceptance criteria.
Outsourced Development Security
Learn how to assess external developers, define contractual security requirements, monitor suppliers, and verify software before acceptance.
Environment Separation
Understand how to separate development, testing, staging, and production environments and prevent unauthorized production changes.
Change Management
Learn how to request, assess, approve, test, implement, document, and review changes securely.
Test Information Protection
Understand how synthetic data, masking, anonymization, restricted access, secure transfer, and deletion protect test information.
Audit Testing Protection
Learn how to plan and control audit tests without disrupting operational systems or exposing sensitive information.
Implementation Evidence
Identify suitable policies, procedures, configurations, approvals, logs, reports, test results, and records for demonstrating compliance.
Practical ISO 27001 Application
Apply technological controls to realistic workplace risks, systems, applications, networks, cloud services, and operational environments.
