ISO 27001

Comparisons anchored on ISO/IEC 27001:2022, the certifiable information security management system standard: against HIPAA, PCI DSS and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

ISO 27001 vs HIPAA

For healthcare organizations and their vendors: the HIPAA Security Rule is US law enforced by OCR with no recognized certificate, while ISO/IEC 27001 gives an internationally recognized certificate. Covers what an ISO 27001 certificate does and does not prove to HHS, how the HIPAA risk analysis compares with the ISO risk assessment, and which comes first.

ISO 27001 vs PCI DSS

A risk-based management system certificate versus a prescriptive card data standard validated by ROC or SAQ: why an ISO 27001 certificate does not count as PCI DSS validation, how scope works in each (ISMS scope versus the cardholder data environment), the fixed PCI testing cadences, and whether to certify the whole company or protect card data first.

ISO 27001 vs Cyber Resilience Act

For software and connected product makers: the Cyber Resilience Act regulates products with digital elements through essential requirements, vulnerability handling, CE marking and reporting, while ISO/IEC 27001 certifies an organization's ISMS. Covers why an ISO certificate gives no CRA presumption of conformity, which products need a notified body, what counts as a product, and how to plan both.
