THE SHORT HANDBOOK CONTAINING EXPERT GUIDANCE ON THE ISO 27001 SECURITY CONTROLS
Author and experienced information security consultant Dejan Kosutic has created this shorter book, as part of the ISO pocket book series, focused solely on safeguards specified in ISO 27001:2013.

- A simple explanation of how the Annex A is structured
- Which controls are included
- The purpose of each control
- How to structure policies and procedures for Annex A controls
