ISO 27001 does not care about excuses. It demands control over access, logging, and accountability. For teams managing sensitive systems over SSH, the standard’s requirements cut to the bone: define who can connect, record every command, and enforce policy without fail. The simplest way to meet these demands is through an SSH access proxy built to align with ISO 27001.
An ISO 27001 SSH access proxy sits between the user and the target server. It authenticates connections, applies role-based permissions, and keeps immutable audit logs. It lets you prove compliance and security in one step. No unmanaged keys, no shadow accounts, no lost session histories.
Core features include centralized SSH key management, enforced MFA, and fine-grained controls over what users can do once connected. Commands, output, and metadata flow into secure logging systems, giving you the evidence ISO 27001 auditors require. If an access attempt fails policy checks, the proxy blocks it before any packet reaches the server.
