  What Happened tothe Removed Controls? It's important to note that no controls were outright deleted from ISO 27001. Instead, the 2022 update focused on streamlining and consolidating existing controls to improve efficiency and relevance. Merged Controls 57 controls were merged into 24 streamlined controls, reducing redundancy and simplifying implementation. Renamed Controls 23 controls were renamed for greater clarity and better alignment with current security terminology. Split Controls 1 control was split into two distinct controls, allowing for more precise management of specific aspects. This thoughtful reorganization results in a more focused, relevant, and manageable control set that aligns seamlessly with ISO 27002:2022, the guidance standard for implementing these controls.
