Does SharePoint support ISO 27001 document control?
Yes, SharePoint supports ISO 27001 document control requirements, but with some configuration and governance policies in place. Microsoft SharePoint Online is not an ISO 27001 certification tool by itself, but it provides the capabilities you need to meet document control clauses under Annex A.7 and A.8 of ISO/IEC 27001.
What can help your organisation meet several requirements for ISO 27001 is iWorkplace, especially around information governance, document control and compliance processes.
See below a summary of its capabilities on how iWorkplace supports ISO 27001 compliance:
|
ISO 27001 Area |

|
Documented Information Control |
Policy libraries, workflows, and versioning. |

Note: While iWorkplace helps you implement controls required by ISO 27001, your people, policies, and governance still play a critical role. Certification depends on how the platform is configured, used, and governed, not just the tools alone.
