Policy Register

Wireless network standard

How wireless networks are authenticated, encrypted, separated from the wired estate and offered to guests.

How the register reads it

Also calledWi-Fi standard, guest network
FamilyOperations and technology
Document typeStandard. The regimes ask for the content, not the label; a line pasted as a standard, procedure, plan or schedule is placed here with the label noted.
Folds intoThe regimes accept it folded into the network security policy; when neither is listed, the gap is counted once, under the parent.
Expected ownerThe head of IT operations.
Review cadenceAnnual (the register's default: the clauses say planned intervals and on significant change, and do not fix a period).
On the gap list whennever on its own: the register recognises it and names the clauses, but no ticked regime lists it as a separate document (its parent, network security policy, is).
TemplateWireless network security policy.

Which standards require it, and what each expects it to contain

2 requiring clauses, 1 regimes

Shown on a register for the regimes you tick; with none ticked, ISO 27001 is applied. Requirement text drawn from a human-verified compliance corpus under licence: the corpus statement of each clause, not the instrument verbatim.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

ISO 27001 8.20 Networks security

Secure, manage and control networks and network devices.

What the ISO 27002 guidance expects the document to say: Requires networks and network devices to be secured, managed and controlled in order to protect the information carried in systems and applications.

Evidence an auditor accepts: Network documentation showing the current topology, zones, connections and the security controls at each boundary; configuration standards for network devices and evidence of compliance, including management plane protection; firewall and access control rule sets, with evidence of periodic review and removal of obsolete or overly permissive rules
Common gap: outdated topology diagrams

ISO 27001 8.21 Security of network services

Identify, implement and monitor security mechanisms and service levels for network services.

What the ISO 27002 guidance expects the document to say: Requires the security mechanisms for network services, along with their service levels and the requirements placed on them, to be identified, implemented and monitored, whether provision is in house or outsourced.

Evidence an auditor accepts: Identification of network services in use, whether in house or outsourced, with their owners; the security mechanisms, service levels and management requirements defined for each service; evidence of implementation of those mechanisms, such as encryption, authentication and connection controls
Common gap: Out‑of‑date service inventory missing recent cloud assets
