ISO 27001 versus 27002

ISO/IEC 27002 provides guidance on how to implement the security controls in Annex A of ISO 27001, the international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The ISO 27000 series is a collection of documents pertaining to various aspects of information security management. ISO 27001 is the fundamental framework in which the implementation requirements for an ISMS can be found. Basically, this is a list of everything you need to do in order to be compliant. Although ISO 27002 is a more comprehensive standard, no organization can be accredited to it as it is not a management standard. It is a collection of requirements for businesses to manage their policies and processes so that they can achieve a certain set of outcomes. It essentially lays down the rules for operating a system. In the case of ISO 27001, it defines the ISMS, and therefore certification against ISO 27001 is possible.
