ISO/IEC 27014:2020 · Governance of Information Security · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Make information security a board-level responsibility, and evidence the oversight ISO 27014 expects.
Every element of security governance handed to you as an adopt-ready control, with the governing-body nuance, the exact evidence an assessor examines, and the finding they most often raise.
Governance-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. Regulators, customers and boards increasingly expect information security to be governed, not just managed. ISO 27014 is the reference for how a governing body directs and oversees security. The hard part is operationalizing it: the board-level direction, the reporting that gives the governing body visibility, the split between governance and management, and the assurance to hold management to account, all evidenced. Building that from a guidance document is weeks of work.
This Kit removes the build. It is the ISO 27014 governance principles and processes as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend.
What you get, the moment you buy

27
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what an assessor examines, plus the finding they most often raise, and the governing-body nuance that catches organizations out.
1
27014 Control Matrix, pre-built. Every control in a working spreadsheet, ready to record your implementation, status and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each control and the workbook tells you your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.
Grounded in ISO/IEC 27014:2020 and the evaluate, direct and monitor governance model, aligned with ISO/IEC 38500, with the board-level reporting, oversight and assurance called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
Governance is the board's job
27014 is about the governing body, not the security team. It is how the board sets direction, ensures security supports business outcomes, and holds management to account. This Kit builds the reporting, oversight and assurance that let the governing body actually govern, evidenced the way a review expects.
What one control looks like
This is a governance process control, evaluating the current and projected information security posture. All 27 are built to this depth.
PROC-1 Evaluate current and projected information security posture GOVERNANCE PROCESSES
Adopt this control
[Governing body] shall evaluate the current and projected state of information security, considering business strategy, the changing risk and threat environment, and stakeholder expectations. It shall assess whether existing arrangements are adequate for future needs, drawing on reporting and independent input from [Executive management] to form a considered judgement before directing any change.
Evidence an assessor examines
- Governing body assessments of current and future information security posture
- Inputs on strategy, threat, and risk environment prepared for governing body evaluation
- Minutes recording evaluation conclusions on adequacy of security arrangements
- Forward-looking analysis of information security needs reviewed at governance level
Common finding they raise: The governing body reacts to incidents but never formally evaluates whether security arrangements meet future needs.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A governance charter is not oversight. This tells you exactly what an assessor examines and the finding they raise, for every element, including the board-level reporting.
- Governance, not management. The governing body's evaluate, direct and monitor role, and the split from executive management, are built in, so the board can genuinely govern.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. 27014 sits above ISO 27001 and aligns with ISO/IEC 38500, so your security governance connects to your ISMS and your wider IT governance.
Who buys this
Boards and executives accountable for information security, CISOs who report to them, internal auditors, and consultants standing up security governance. Whether it is a first governance framework or a maturity uplift, you save weeks and walk in with the oversight and evidence structured.

Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Is 27014 certifiable? It is a guidance standard. Certification is against ISO 27001; this Kit gives you an adoptable, auditable governance layer that strengthens your ISMS and satisfies board-oversight expectations.
How does it relate to ISO 27001? 27001 is the management system; 27014 is the governance above it, how the board directs and oversees. This Kit is the governance layer.
Does it cover the board's role? Yes. The governing body's evaluate, direct and monitor responsibilities, and the reporting that supports them, are the core of the Kit.
