C5 (Germany) vs ISO 27002:2022

What is the difference between C5 (Germany) and ISO 27002:2022?

C5 (Germany) is a other framework applying in Germany, with 121 controls across 38 domains. ISO 27002:2022 is a information security framework applying in International, with 94 controls across 7 domains. They govern different subjects, so the overlap is limited to the governance requirements they share. The mapping below shows where that is.
