ISO/IEC 27001 vulnerability management: 2022 A.8.8 and Vooki Pro's 2013 mapping

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 names technical vulnerability management as its own Annex A control — A.8.8. Here's where it sits in the standard's structure and what it asks for — and what Vooki Pro's report offers today: a legacy mapping to the 2013 edition's Annex A. A 2022-edition control mapping is not currently available.

The requirement

What A.8.8 actually covers

A.8.8 — Management of technical vulnerabilities

Sits in the Technological theme of the 2022 revision's 93 Annex A controls (reorganized from the 2013 edition's 114 controls into four themes: Organizational, People, Physical, Technological). The control's aim is identifying exposure to known technical weaknesses and responding to them — commonly described as covering discovery, assessment, prioritization, remediation, and verification.

No prescribed method or cadence

Like most Annex A controls, A.8.8 states an objective, not an implementation. Your Statement of Applicability and risk treatment plan — the documents your certification auditor actually reviews — define how often you scan and what tooling you use to satisfy it, within your organization's own ISMS.

This is a summary, not the standard's text. ISO/IEC 27001 is a licensed document available from iso.org; use it for exact wording in an audit.

Where Vooki Pro fits

How scan evidence supports vulnerability management

What it covers

Scheduled scans identify vulnerabilities in your web applications and REST APIs on an ongoing basis; the CVSS score and severity on each finding support prioritization; automated retest and the fixed/false-positive triage states provide the remediation-and-verification evidence an auditor would look for in your vulnerability management records.

What it doesn't cover

Technical vulnerability management is one Annex A control among many (93 in the 2022 edition) spanning everything from access control to supplier relationships to physical security. ISO 27001 certification requires a full ISMS audit by an accredited certification body — a DAST tool's output is evidence for one control, not a substitute for the management system or the certification process.

The ISO 27001 compliance report

Exporting a scan as an ISO/IEC 27001 report (HTML or PDF, via the Export menu or the CLI's compliance_framework: iso27001 config) produces a legacy ISO/IEC 27001:2013 mapping: findings are referenced against 2013 Annex A controls such as A.12.6.1. A mapping to the 2022 edition's controls, including A.8.8, is not currently available — so treat the report as dated supporting evidence, not as a mapping to a 2022-based Statement of Applicability.

FAQ

Common questions

Which ISO 27001 control covers vulnerability scanning?
Annex A.8.8, "Management of technical vulnerabilities," in the 2022 revision's Technological theme — one of 93 Annex A controls. In the 2013 edition — the edition Vooki Pro's report maps to — the equivalent control is A.12.6.1. The control is about identifying and responding to known weaknesses; it does not prescribe a specific tool or scan frequency.
Does Vooki Pro generate an ISO 27001 compliance report?
Yes, as a legacy ISO/IEC 27001:2013 mapping: scan findings can be exported in HTML or PDF against 2013 Annex A controls such as A.12.6.1. A mapping to the 2022 edition's Annex A controls is not currently available, so the report is not a direct mapping to a 2022-based Statement of Applicability.
Does using Vooki Pro make us ISO 27001 certified?
No. ISO 27001 certification is granted by an accredited certification body after an audit of your entire Information Security Management System (ISMS) — A.8.8 is one of 93 Annex A controls, and vulnerability scanning evidence supports that one control, not certification as a whole.
