ISO/IEC 27035-1:2023 is the foundational part of the ISO/IEC 27035 series, providing principles and a general framework for managing information security incidents. In today’s digital environment, organizations face an ever-increasing range of cyber threats, from malware and phishing to insider threats and data breaches. This standard enables organizations to respond effectively to these incidents and strengthen their resilience.

Designed for organizations of all sizes and industries, ISO/IEC 27035-1 guides the development of a robust incident management process that aligns with overall information security risk management practices. It also supports compliance with broader frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems), making it an integral part of a holistic cybersecurity approach.
