ISO 27001 COMPLIANCE SOFTWARE: ANNEX A CONTROLS, GAP ASSESSMENT, AND CERTIFICATION READINESS
Accelerate your ISO 27001 certification with a complete Annex A control library, automated gap assessment, risk treatment tracking, internal audit management, and a certification readiness dashboard that shows exactly where you stand.
What is ISO 27001 and Why Does It Matter? ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic framework for managing sensitive information through risk assessment, security controls, and continuous improvement. The 2022 version includes 93 Annex A controls across four themes. Certification by an accredited audit body demonstrates to customers, partners, and regulators that your organisation follows internationally recognised security best practices.
COMPLETE ANNEX A CONTROL LIBRARY WITH IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE
All 93 Annex A controls from ISO 27001:2022, organised into four themes: Organisational (37), People (8), Physical (14), and Technological (34). Each control includes implementation guidance drawn from ISO 27002, evidence requirements, and cross-framework mappings to DORA, NIS2, and GDPR. Track implementation status from Not Started through to Effective, with evidence attachment and effectiveness ratings. See the full control crosswalk for cross-framework mappings.
- All 93 controls with ISO 27002 implementation guidance
- Four-theme organisation: Organisational, People, Physical, Technological
- Implementation status: Not Started, In Progress, Implemented, Effective
- Evidence attachment and effectiveness rating per control
- Cross-framework mapping to DORA, NIS2, GDPR, and more
AUTOMATED GAP ASSESSMENT AGAINST ISO 27001:2022
Evaluate your current security posture against every Annex A control and ISMS clause with a structured gap assessment. Venvera scores each control on a maturity scale, identifies gaps, and generates a prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates and ownership assignments. The assessment updates in real time as you implement controls, giving you a living view of your certification readiness.
- Structured questionnaires for each Annex A control and ISMS clause
- Maturity scoring: Not Applicable, Not Started, Partial, Implemented, Effective
- Auto-generated remediation roadmap with priority rankings
- Effort estimates and ownership assignment per remediation item
- Real-time progress tracking as controls are implemented
RISK TREATMENT PLANS WITH CONTROL SELECTION
ISO 27001 Clause 6.1 requires a risk assessment process and risk treatment plans. Venvera links every identified risk to the Annex A controls that mitigate it, tracks treatment decisions (Mitigate, Accept, Transfer, Avoid), and monitors residual risk after controls are applied. The risk treatment plan exports as a formal document for your certification auditor. See the full risk management module for details.
- Risk-to-control linking across all 93 Annex A controls
- Treatment decision tracking: Mitigate, Accept, Transfer, Avoid
- Residual risk calculation after control application
- Statement of Applicability (SoA) generation
- Formal risk treatment plan export for auditors
ISMS POLICY MANAGEMENT AND DOCUMENTED INFORMATION
ISO 27001 Clause 7.5 requires controlled documented information for the ISMS. Venvera provides a policy library with pre-built templates for all required ISMS documents: information security policy, risk assessment methodology, Statement of Applicability, risk treatment plan, and operational procedures. Each document has version control, approval workflows, and periodic review scheduling. See the full policy library module for details.
- Pre-built templates for all required ISMS documents
- Version control with approval and review workflows
- Document classification and access control settings
- Periodic review scheduling with overdue alerting
- Employee acknowledgement tracking for key policies
INTERNAL AUDIT MANAGEMENT AND NONCONFORMITY TRACKING
ISO 27001 Clause 9.2 requires planned internal audits at regular intervals. Venvera manages the complete internal audit lifecycle: audit programme planning, scope definition, findings documentation, nonconformity classification (Major or Minor), corrective action tracking, and closure verification. Each audit generates a formal report with evidence references, and all corrective actions are tracked to resolution.
- Audit programme planning with scope and schedule management
- Finding documentation with severity classification
- Nonconformity tracking: Major, Minor, Observation, Opportunity
- Corrective action assignment with deadline tracking
- Audit report generation with evidence references
CERTIFICATION READINESS DASHBOARD
A single dashboard showing exactly how ready you are for your ISO 27001 certification audit. Track completion across all ISMS clauses and Annex A controls, view outstanding nonconformities, check that all required documents are approved, and verify that management review and internal audits are current. The readiness score gives your leadership team clear visibility into certification timeline and remaining work.
- Overall readiness score across all clauses and controls
- Outstanding nonconformity and corrective action summary
- Required document checklist with approval status
- Management review and internal audit completion tracking
- Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit preparation checklists
