testland/iso27001-test-patterns
Reference catalog of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A test patterns: testable technical controls with code-level assertions for access control (A.8.2-A.8.5), logging and monitoring (A.8.15-A.8.16), cryptography (A.8.24), and secure development (A.8.25-A.8.31), plus evidence patterns for Stage 1 and Stage 2 certification audits and Statement of Applicability scoping. The full 93-control Annex A index (four themes: organizational A.5, people A.6, physical A.7, technological A.8) and the exhaustive per-control test code live in references/. Use when authoring ISMS test coverage for an ISO 27001:2022 certification engagement or gap assessment.

Annex A control index (ISO/IEC 27001:2022)
Deep reference for iso27001-test-patterns SKILL.md. The full 93-control
enumeration across the four Annex A themes. Consult when scoping a Statement of
Applicability or checking which theme a control belongs to; the SKILL.md keeps
only the four-theme summary and the testable-control shortlist.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 restructured Annex A from 114 controls (2013 edition) to 93 controls across four themes, adding 11 new controls for cloud, threat intelligence, secure coding, and monitoring. All control IDs, names, and counts below are sourced from isms.online/iso-27001/annex-a (fetched 2026-06-04); the canonical standard text is paywalled at iso.org and is cited by stable ID "ISO/IEC 27001:2022".
A.5 Organizational controls (37 controls)
Most A.5 controls are verified by document review, policy attestation, or access-control test. The exceptions with automated test patterns are A.5.3 (segregation of duties) and A.5.34 (PII protection) - both in technical-control-test-patterns.md.
