Organizations can use a single set of policies and controls to satisfy the requirements of both standards, shrinking the workload by up to 50%.

Adopting the integrated approach outlined in the ISO/IEC 27013:2021 standard offers measurable operational and strategic advantages:

For organizations with no formal systems, the standard suggests starting with business needs to determine which standard takes priority.

A unified Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle ensures that security is baked into service design and transition from the start, rather than being added as an afterthought.

This is the most complex state, often occurring during company acquisitions. It requires a thorough comparison to ensure no mutually incompatible aspects exist.

The primary goal of an ISO/IEC 27013 PDF is to bridge the gap between IT security and service delivery. Historically, these two disciplines were often siloed, leading to duplicated efforts and operational blind spots. This standard provides specific guidance on:

Implementing ISO/IEC 27001 when ISO/IEC 20000-1 is already in place (or vice versa). Deploying both standards simultaneously. Integrating two separate, existing management systems.
