The ISO/IEC 27001 Framework is the internationally recognized standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information through risk management, governance, and control implementation. At its core, ISO 27001 helps organizations protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data—whether stored, processed, or transmitted—by aligning security practices with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
The framework is built around a risk-based process, requiring organizations to identify potential threats, assess their likelihood and impact, and implement appropriate controls from the companion standard ISO/IEC 27002. These controls cover a wide range of areas including asset management, access control, cryptography, operations security, and supplier relationships. By tailoring these controls to organizational needs, ISO 27001 supports both flexibility and accountability—ensuring that security measures are not just technical but also strategic and operational.

Implement effective cybersecurity measures that work in real organizations, not just on paper. In an era where every business depends on connected systems, the challenge is no longer knowing that controls matter, it’s knowing which controls to deploy, how to deploy them correctly, and how to keep them effective as threats and environments change. The Cybersecurity Control Playbook is built to turn cybersecurity intent into repeatable execution, helping teams protect sensitive data, maintain system integrity, and support privacy without getting lost in jargon or theory.
With balanced coverage of both foundational and advanced topics, the book provides a step-by-step approach to developing, deploying, monitoring, testing, and retiring controls across organizations of all sizes. It emphasizes practical implementation, using concrete examples to show what “good” looks like in day-to-day operations, and how to avoid the common failure modes that cause controls to degrade over time. The goal is a living control program that stays aligned to real risk, real assets, and real business constraints.
Readers will also find clear, accessible language; structured guidance for using control frameworks in large, mid-sized, and small environments; and a system for identifying, prioritizing, and managing cyber risk using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, alongside discussion of other major cybersecurity frameworks. The Cybersecurity Control Playbook is ideal for cybersecurity practitioners, IT professionals, and security managers responsible for implementing and managing cybersecurity strategies and the controls that make those strategies measurable and effective.
