The ISO document is a draft
A DIS cannot be cited as the applicable standard and cannot be certified against. If a contract or questionnaire cites ISO 27003 today, the citation needs a version and a status. What the record shows.
For the CISO, the ISMS manager and the consultant who certifies them
The guidance moved to the 2022 clause set. The ISO label has not caught up.
ISO/IEC DIS 27003 is Edition 3 of the guidance for applying ISO/IEC 27001:2022. It is at stage 40.00, DIS registered, and it is not published. The requirement you are audited against is already 27001:2022. This site separates the two, clause by clause and control by control, so you can prepare on the requirement and use the draft as guidance.
Read from the real rules, not invented. Every line points to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clause or the ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control behind it, so you can check any answer yourself.

The DIS text is not public. The requirement is stated from 27001:2022. Read the record.
Know what applies, what to keep, and when it changes.
Most teams can describe their ISMS and cannot produce the record an auditor asks for. The register turns each clause into the evidence an assessor will request, so the answer is ready before the question.

01 / DRAFT
02 / REQUIREMENT
Your audit is on 27001:2022
The certifiable requirement is ISO/IEC 27001:2022. The draft explains how to apply it. That means the clause work can start now, and the guidance can be adopted when it is published. The clause register.
03 / DATE
The date is a projection
ISO records no publication date. The planning date used here is 13 September 2027, derived from the current stage and the normal ISO path and labelled a projection. ISO has not committed to it. The dated timeline.
The check reads your certificate edition, your Statement of Applicability, your next audit window and the guide you use today. It returns a verdict, three actions and three clauses to read. It runs in the browser and sends nothing.
It never treats a missing answer as the lighter pathway. If an answer is missing, it says so and names the fact it needs.
Typical reading
Certified to 2022, still using the 2017 guide
The requirement moved. The guide did not. The gap is in clause 6.3, the 93-control Statement of Applicability and the 2022 clause language, not in the draft.
Every reading is computed from the answers, not typed by hand.
CLAUSES 4 TO 10
30 clause records
Context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance and improvement. Each page states the requirement, the guidance lens, the evidence and the auditor's question. Open the register.
ANNEX A
93 control records
Organizational, people, physical and technological controls. Each page states the control, its purpose, the evidence line and the common gap. Open the controls.
THE KIT
Every line with an owner and a date
The paid kit turns the free register into a working file: PDF, CSV and XLSX, plus a dated plan. The specimen is labelled and free. See the specimen.
1. Fix the requirement
Confirm the certificate edition. Rebuild the Statement of Applicability against all 93 controls. Trace every treatment action to an owner.
2. Refresh the guidance
Read the draft as guidance, not requirement. Mark where the 2017 guide is behind 27001:2022: 6.3, the Annex A restructure and the climate amendment.
3. Watch the record
The stage will move. The watch emails when the stage, the guidance or the dates change, with the diff and the clause affected.
Is ISO 27003 published?
No. ISO records ISO/IEC DIS 27003 at stage 40.00, DIS registered on 2 October 2026. A DIS is a draft in the enquiry phase. It cannot be cited as the applicable standard and no certificate is issued against it. The planning date of 13 September 2027 is a projection, not an ISO date.
Does ISO 27003 change my ISO 27001 certificate?
No. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the certifiable requirement standard. ISO/IEC 27003 is guidance on how to apply it. No certificate depends on 27003, and no transition audit is triggered by it. The draft can change how you evidence the requirement, not what the requirement is.
What is in the free register?
One page for each of the 30 ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clause requirements and each of the 93 Annex A controls. Every page states the requirement in plain words, the guidance lens, the evidence an assessor asks for, the common gaps and the source.
What does the USD 799 kit contain?
The full 123 unit register, 671 evidence lines and a dated plan in PDF, CSV and XLSX, with an owner and a due date column on every line. A labelled specimen shows the shape before you buy. The change watch is USD 49 a month.
Can I use the draft to prepare for an audit?
Yes, as guidance. Use it to improve how you apply the 27001:2022 requirement. Do not cite it as a requirement, do not claim certification against it and do not rewrite controlled documents in draft language before publication.
Is this legal advice or a certification?
No. It is a reference and a working register. It does not certify, audit or give legal advice, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by ISO or IEC.
