The New Challenge: From Static Documentation to Dynamic ISMS
The 2022 revision of ISO/IEC 27001 introduced a major shift in how organizations manage and maintain their Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
With the number of controls reduced from 114 to 93, the focus has moved beyond compliance checklists to a dynamic, risk-driven approach that reflects the realities of today’s digital environment.
Organizations are now expected to rethink and update their ISMS documentation, redefine relationships between risks, assets, and controls, and ensure that their controls are not just present — but active, relevant, and adaptable to the evolving threat landscape.
However, this transformation introduces new challenges:
- Continuous updates to documentation and mappings
- Manual effort in revising control frameworks
- Delays in maintaining compliance with new ISO revisions
This is where Generative AI is reshaping the game.
Case Study: Kempower’s AI-Driven ISMS Transformation
A recent study published in 2024 (arXiv:2409.19029) highlights how Kempower, a leading company in electric vehicle charging technology, addressed these challenges using Generative AI.
By leveraging AI to automatically generate the first drafts of ISMS documentation and control mappings, Kempower achieved remarkable results:
- Documentation time was reduced from weeks to days
- Teams shifted their focus from writing to risk analysis and content improvement
- ISMS alignment with the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 version became faster and more accurate
This case shows that the future of ISMS is not just automation — it’s intelligent adaptation.
Generative AI allows organizations to transform ISMS from static compliance artifacts into living systems that evolve alongside business and regulatory changes.
The Role of Generative AI in Modern ISMS
Generative AI can streamline and enhance every stage of the ISMS lifecycle:
- Documentation automation: Creating and updating policies, procedures, and control descriptions in real time
- Risk-control mapping: Dynamically linking risks, assets, and controls as environments change
- Continuous improvement: Monitoring and suggesting updates based on regulatory or contextual shifts
- Human optimization: Allowing experts to focus on analysis, not repetitive drafting
This approach helps organizations maintain continuous compliance while improving agility, accuracy, and efficiency.
