Predefined posture template for ISO 27001

This page describes the detective policies that are included in the v1.0 version of the predefined posture template for the International Organization for Standards (ISO) 27001 standard. This template includes a policy set that defines the Security Health Analytics detectors that apply to workloads that must be compliant with the ISO 27001 standard.

You can deploy this posture template without making any changes.
