ISO 27001 Scope Template

Define your ISMS boundaries with clarity and confidence.

Our ISO 27001 ISMS Scope Template helps you quickly and clearly define the scope of your Information Security Management System (ISMS) in line with Clause 4.3 of the standard. Whether you're preparing for certification or reviewing your existing ISMS, this practical, plain-English template ensures you cover all the required elements without unnecessary filler.

What’s included:

• A complete, editable ISMS scope statement template (Word format)

• Sections covering organisational, technical, and physical boundaries

• Clear guidance on exclusions and justification

• Example text to help you get started

• Professional layout suitable for audits or internal reviews

Why it matters

Clause 4.3 of ISO 27001 requires organisations to define the scope of their ISMS based on internal and external issues, interested parties, and relevant interfaces. A vague or incomplete scope can lead to audit findings or worse, gaps in your security controls. This template helps you avoid those pitfalls and meet the standard with confidence.

Ideal for

• First-time ISO 27001 implementations

• Annual reviews and recertification

• Consultants preparing client documentation

• Organisations refining or expanding their ISMS.
