ISO 27001 A.5.7 Threat Intelligence: The New Control Explained

Implementation Sketch

• Define intelligence sources (vendor advisories, ISACs, national CERTs, internal telemetry)
• Analyse relevance to your assets and threat scenarios
• Feed outputs into risk assessment, vulnerability prioritization, and detection use cases
• Retain evidence of collection, analysis, and resulting actions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the official title of A.5.7?

Threat intelligence.

Is A.5.7 only for large SOCs?

No. The control applies where determined necessary in your SoA. Scale collection and analysis to your risk and interested-party needs.

How does CyberSilo relate?

ThreatSearch / TIP-style feeds and SIEM correlation can support intelligence use; the ISMS must still define sources, analysis, and action processes.
