The Schulzs shared invaluable insights about collaboration, balancing personal and professional life, and the unique challenges and benefits that come with working closely with a spouse.

Many couples may shy away from the idea of blending business with personal life, but Jen and James broke down their strategies for maintaining healthy boundaries and supporting each other’s individual strengths. They discussed how they handle disagreements and decision-making, ensuring both voices are heard and respected.

Important Update: ISO 27001-2022 Standards

ISO 27001:2022 is not significantly different from ISO 27001:2013, but there are some notable changes. However, most of these relate to Annex SL, the high-level structure common to all new ISO management system standards, rather than to information security:Context and scopeYou must now identify the “relevant” requirements of interested parties and determine which requirements will be addressed through the ISMS.The ISMS must now explicitly includes the “processes needed and their interactions”.PlanningInformation security objectives must now be monitored and “be available as documented information”.There is a new subclause on planning changes to the ISMS. This does not specify any processes that must be included, so you should determine how you can demonstrate that changes to the ISMS have indeed been planned.SupportThe requirements to define who will communicate, and the processes for effecting communication, have been replaced by a requirement to define “how to communicate”.OperationThe requirement to plan how to achieve information security objectives has been replaced by a requirement to establish criteria for processes to implement actions identified in Clause 6, and to control those processes in line with the criteria.Organisations are now required to control “externally provided processes, products or services” relevant to the ISMS rather than just processes.Annex AAnnex A has been revised to align it with ISO 27002:2022. The Annex A controls are discussed in the section below.
