Who uses it
Security operations teams, incident responders and service providers use it. Banks and telecoms draw on it to shape their response plans.
How it is applied
- Current practice is compared with the guidance.
- Management agrees which parts apply and who owns them.
- Practices are adopted in policies, procedures and training.
- Results are reviewed after a set period and adjusted.
Cost drivers
Cost is mainly staff time and any outside support. The number of processes and teams involved decides the effort. No certification fees apply, as no certificate is issued.
Timeline
Most organisations adopt it in phases over several months. It can run alongside work on a certifiable standard.
Certification
ISO/IEC 27035-1 is guidance, so accredited certificates are not issued against it. Its practices support the incident controls of ISO/IEC 27001.
