A.5.37 · Organizational

Documented operating procedures

Why it matters

Undocumented procedures mean security depends on one person remembering how something works.

How a self-led small team implements it

Write down the procedures for your highest-risk or most error-prone tasks first; you don't need every process documented on day one.

What auditors expect to see

Procedure documents for key operational tasks.

Track A.5.37 in your own Statement of Applicability — mark it applicable, log your justification, and link it to the risk that drove it.
