ISO 27001 Excel Implementation Plan - The Execution Backbone of Your ISMS

Required to plan, track, and evidence the implementation of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements during certification audits.

An ISO 27001 Implementation Plan is a practical requirement for demonstrating ISMS rollout, even though it is not a standalone clause document. It is expected by auditors as supporting evidence showing how ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements are translated into defined actions, owners, and timelines.

Auditors review the implementation plan during Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits to confirm structured planning, controlled execution, and progress against clauses and Annex A controls. Missing, vague, or informal plans commonly result in audit gaps, delays, or failed readiness assessments.

This Excel-based implementation plan provides a structured, traceable, auditor-ready format to manage ISO 27001 implementation activities, responsibilities, and status — aligned with certification and surveillance audit expectations.

Why This Document Matters

  • Translates ISO/IEC 27001 requirements into clear, trackable implementation actions.
  • Assigns ownership, timelines, and status to ISMS activities.
  • Demonstrates structured planning and controlled ISMS rollout.
  • Supports a risk-based implementation of clauses and Annex A controls.
  • Provides auditable evidence of implementation progress and readiness.

What's Included in This Template

  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022-aligned implementation plan structure.
  • Clause-by-clause implementation task mapping.
  • Action owners, responsibilities, and target timelines.
  • Risk-based prioritisation of clauses and Annex A controls.
  • Implementation status, evidence tracking, and comments fields.

Common Audit Issues This Helps You Avoid

  • Lack of a structured, documented ISO 27001 implementation plan.
  • Missing ownership, timelines, or accountability for ISMS tasks.
  • Lack of evidence showing implementation progress against clauses and controls.
  • Poor alignment between risks, controls, and implementation actions.
  • Incomplete or outdated implementation tracking during audits.
  • Stage 1 or Stage 2 audit findings related to inadequate ISMS planning and execution.

Compliance Note

The ISO 27001 Excel Implementation Plan is a core component of a complete ISMS. Certification also requires supporting policies, procedures, risk assessments, and control evidence. The implementation plan links these elements together, demonstrating structured execution and measurable progress during certification and surveillance audits.
