Full Packet Capture as Strategic and Regulatory Imperative
Endace partnered with SANS to review a wide range of cybersecurity regulations around the globe. This report, by Matt Bromiley, Certified Instructor at SANS, examines at how always-on packet capture enables organizations to comply with these key regulations, while also providing an essential foundation of effective cyber defense.
The report also includes detailed “tear-sheets” which outline how always-on full packet capture enables compliance with the specific requirements of key regulations and frameworks including Zero Trust, NIST CSF, ISO 27-001, NIS2 Directive, Australian ISM and more.
This page provides the information specific to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Enabling ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Compliance for Information Security Management
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 represents the international gold standard for information security management systems. As the globally recognized framework for systematic information security management, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 provides organizations with a comprehensive approach to securing sensitive information through risk-based controls and continuous improvement. Organizations across all sectors and regions implement ISO/IEC 27001:2022 to demonstrate security maturity. The consequences of inadequate information security management can include loss of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, security breaches, regulatory penalties under other requirements (such as GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), and/or failed audits requiring remediation and assessment cost(s).
For information security managers, CISOs, and executive leadership, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is both a strategic business enabler and a security commitment. However, although it provides a structured framework for managing risk, that doesn’t exclude organizations from challenges in maintaining certification:
- Comprehensive logging and monitoring requirements across all information systems
- Evidence collection for internal and external audits demonstrating control effectiveness
- Incident response and response capabilities meeting Annex A control requirements
- Continuous monitoring of security controls to identify gaps
Full packet capture (FPC) solutions directly address ISO/IEC 27001:2022’s enhanced requirements while providing comprehensive network visibility, forensic-grade evidence collection, and the continuous monitoring capabilities essential for certification.
With enterprise-grade FPC solutions, organizations can:
- Demonstrate control effectiveness through measurable network security
- Detect and investigate security incidents, meeting Annex A.8.16 requirements
- Maintain comprehensive audit logs exceeding Annex A.8.15 requirements with packets
- Support risk assessment processes through continuous network visibility
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Compliance Framework
The tearsheet below references the key controls established in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A to show where and how FPC supports compliance in each domain.
