The brand new 2026 sixth edition of ISO/IEC 27000 takes just 11 shiny pages to outline an Information Security Management System and succinctly summarise a fifth of the ~100 ISO/IEC 27xxx (ISO27k) standards.
Gone are 65 of the previous edition's definition of terms, leaving just 12, of which all bar 5 are shortened versions of definitions drawn from other ISO27k standards.
The most useful part is clause 4 "Concepts and principles", four pages explaining why information security can and should be managed systematically.
18 ISO27k standards merit just a sentence each, plus a table and diagram which simply classify or categorise the 18 without actually describing their interrelationships and dependencies. Opportunity lost.
But, hey, we get 11 glorious pages for 'just' 6 Swiss francs per page, rather than 34 pages for free. So much for progress. Harrumph.
