Fast-Forward Your ISO 27001:2022 Compliance with Unified Threat Intelligence Management Solutions from Cyware

In today's cybersecurity landscape, compliance isn't just about checking boxes, it's about building genuine security resilience. This philosophy is at the heart of the latest update to ISO/IEC 27001, the global gold standard for information security management. The 2022 revision introduced a critical new requirement: Control 5.7 - Threat Intelligence. 

The good news? You can achieve compliance through unified threat intelligence management, enabled by Cyware Cyware CTI-in-a-Box, a scalable, seamless, and security-enhancing solution built for built for built for ISO 27001:2022 compliance and stronger threat intelligence operations.

Understanding ISO 27001: The Universal Security Framework

ISO/IEC 27001 provides a framework for protecting organizational information effectively, systematically, and cost-efficiently, regardless of company size or industry. From emerging tech startups to multinational enterprises, from government agencies to financial institutions, organizations worldwide implement this standard to:

• Safeguard valuable information assets
• Reassure customers and partners about security practices
• Demonstrate mature security governance

The 2022 revision brought several timely updates, most notably Annex A, Control 5.7, which explicitly requires formal threat intelligence capabilities. This addition acknowledges a fundamental reality: effective protection requires understanding the threats you face. In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, actionable intelligence isn’t optional. It’s essential. 

The New Star: Annex A Control 5.7 – Threat Intelligence 

Control 5.7 requires entities to establish a proactive and systematic approach to understanding and managing information security threats. This means they need to: 

• Collect relevant threat data from internal and external sources. 
• Analyze and assess this data to identify threat trends and assess risk. 
• Produce threat intelligence that can guide decisions and inform security controls. 
• Make it actionable and relevant, so it supports rapid response and proactive defense. 
• Share with internal and external stakeholders where appropriate. 

This requirement represents threat intelligence's evolution from a specialized discipline to the cornerstone of proactive cybersecurity. ISO 27001:2022 formally recognizes this shift, but meeting these requirements presents significant challenges. But compliance doesn’t come easily for everybody. 

Why Most Organizations Struggle with Control 5.7 

Many security teams are overwhelmed, drowning in a flood of alerts and data from countless sources, with little time or clarity to act. Siloed tools make it harder to connect the dots, and manual processes drain already limited resources. On top of this, the cybersecurity skills gap leaves even the most committed teams in a constant race to keep up.

While many organizations are still working to unify systems, automate routine tasks, and operationalise threat intelligence, the path to maturity outlined in Control 5.7 is within reach. With the right strategy and smart prioritisation, it's possible to make meaningful progress despite today’s everyday pressures. Here’s what often holds them back: 

• Lack of centralized threat visibility across the enterprise. 
• Fragmented toolsets that can’t “talk” to each other or integrate easily. 
• Manual processes for intel ingestion, triage, and response. 
• Shortage of expertise in threat analysis and operationalization. 

This is where Cyware comes in.  

How Cyware Makes ISO 27001:2022 Threat Intelligence Compliance Fast, Simple, and Effective  

Cyware enables you to seamlessly implement and unify your threat intelligence management function, enabling you to quickly achieve compliance. Cyware CTI-in-a-Box solution gives security teams everything they need to meet and even exceed the requirements of ISO 27001:2022 Control 5.7.

It’s not yet another TIP (Threat Intelligence Platform), but an end-to-end threat intel ecosystem that automates the full lifecycle: from data ingestion and enrichment to dissemination and response. And it’s built to scale securely in the cloud, making it perfect for modern, hybrid organizations. 

Here's how Cyware addresses each requirement of Control 5.7:

Comprehensive Threat Data Collection  

Cyware enables comprehensive data collection by aggregating both structured and unstructured threat data from a wide range of sources. Whether you rely on OSINT, commercial feeds, ISAC/ISAO data, or internal telemetry from your SIEM, EDR, or firewall logs, Cyware brings it all together in one platform.

You also get out-of-the-box access to Team Cymru feeds, giving you timely visibility into malicious infrastructure such as C2 servers, botnets, and phishing campaigns. This eliminates the weeks or months typically required to integrate and deploy threat data into your program.

No more data silos. Just unified, actionable visibility. 

Threat Analysis 

Raw data is meaningless without context. On its own, a list of IP addresses, hashes, or domains offers little value without understanding how they connect to real-world threats. Cyware’s AI-driven analysis engine transforms this noise into intelligence by continuously correlating indicators of compromise (IOCs) with tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

It does not stop there. Cyware maps these correlations to established frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, enabling your team to see how threats align with known adversary behaviors. This contextual enrichment ensures that alerts are not just fast but also relevant. 

Actionable Threat Intelligence, Enriched with Context

Cyware goes beyond basic aggregation to deliver finished, operational threat intelligence your teams can act on immediately. The platform generates dynamic threat bulletins, curated attack campaign reports, enriched IOCs, and mapped TTPs. These are continuously updated, validated, and contextualized with insights from both internal telemetry and external feeds.

To eliminate noise and prevent analyst fatigue, Cyware applies advanced contextualization through dynamic risk scoring, threat tagging, and visual dashboards that adapt to your organization’s risk posture, asset profile, and sector-specific threat landscape. Whether you're a financial institution tracking fraud or a government agency protecting critical infrastructure, Cyware ensures the intelligence you receive is relevant, timely and high confidence, enabling faster decisions and more precise, proactive responses.

Compromised Credential Management (CCM)

CCM empowers you to detect and neutralise credential-based threats before they escalate. By continuously monitoring the surface, deep, and dark web, Cyware CCM identifies exposed credentials linked to your domains and users. It enriches this intelligence with identity context through IAM integration, enabling identity-aware risk scoring that highlights which exposures pose the greatest risk.

Security teams can act immediately using automated playbooks or initiate manual response actions across their existing toolsets. This seamless combination of real-time credential intelligence, contextual prioritisation, and rapid response ensures that compromised credentials are no longer a silent vulnerability but a managed, visible threat vector.

Seamless Sharing and Collaboration 

Cyware makes threat intelligence collaborative by design. The platform enables secure, real-time, bi-directional sharing of intelligence with external partners such as ISACs, ISAOs, MSSPs, and law enforcement, as well as across internal business units and security teams. Its role-based access controls, anonymization options, and automated workflows ensure sensitive information is protected while maintaining the speed and transparency needed to act. This fosters true collective defense and breaks down silos across your ecosystem.

Response Enablement 

Threat intelligence without response is just awareness. Cyware operationalizes intelligence by integrating seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure from SIEM and SOAR platforms to firewalls, EDR tools, and ticketing systems. You can instantly push relevant IOCs to detection tools, block indicators at the perimeter, or launch automated incident response workflows. This eliminates the lag between threat detection and action helping your SOC reduce dwell time, streamline triage, and contain threats before they escalate. With Cyware, threat intelligence is not just seen, it is acted on.

All of this is seamlessly powered by Cyware Quarterback AI- your intelligent assistant for faster, more effective cyber defense. Designed to work across the entire Cyware platform, Quarterback AI enables natural language threat and incident investigation, making it easy for analysts to ask questions and get immediate, relevant answers without needing complex queries.
