Answer ยท The stage, the date and what the estimate rests on.
Is ISO/IEC 27045 published?
No. ISO records ISO/IEC DIS 27045.2 at stage 40.60, close of voting, reached on 7 August 2026. Publication is estimated for September 2027. That date is our arithmetic from the stage sequence, not an ISO announcement, and it moves if the ballot returns comments.
The record as it stands
The ISO record shows the document under development, edition 1, 26 pages, 67 Swiss francs, committee, with ICS codes 35.030 and 35.240.01. The stage is 40.60 and the ISO feed gives the date it was reached: 7 August 2026.
What close of voting means
The enquiry ballot has closed. The comments are being resolved, then the committee decides whether the draft proceeds to approval or needs another enquiry. The stage sequence that follows is the approval vote, the proof, the vote on the proof, and publication.
Why the date is an estimate
ISO has published no date for this document. The estimate of 15 September 2027 comes from the usual length of the remaining stages for a document of this size, counted from 7 August 2026. A second enquiry adds months, and a failed approval vote adds more.
How to use the date
Use it to schedule the work, not to create a deadline. Work backwards to the board paper, the risk assessment refresh and the audit cycle. Keep the review date independent of the estimate, so a slip in the date does not slip the preparation.
How to know when it moves
The ISO page and the stage feed are the primary sources. This site re-checks them and its refresh script fails loudly when a fact changes. The paid watch sends that diff by email.
The sources and the clauses
The record behind this answer is on the publication record, with the ISO page, the stage feed and the public draft linked. The clause map is on the clause page, and the change table on the changes page.
