A.5.5 · Organizational

Contact with authorities

Why it matters

You need a plan before an incident, not during one — knowing who to call (police, regulator, CERT) saves critical time.

How a self-led small team implements it

A one-page list of relevant authorities and when to contact each is enough; you don't need a standing relationship yet.

What auditors expect to see

Documented list of relevant authorities and contact triggers.

Track A.5.5 in your own Statement of Applicability — mark it applicable, log your justification, and link it to the risk that drove it.
