As the ISO 27000 series is largely funded by selling the standards I doubt 
they are legally available free for download. I'm sure it is available for 
download, as they are just PDFs, but you also want to be sure it is the 
current version etc.

I have access to some of the ISO 27000 series through a client, but in most 
cases probably worth checking if your auditor/consultant can supply current 
versions of these documents.

If you aren't at the point of having an auditor selected the standards are 
widely integrated into other standards documentation, so you could work from 
say the CSA CSTAR matrix and cover all the control areas (and a few extra). 
Not seen if they have caught up with 27001:2018 but I'm sure they have.

Really in the cost of things buying the standards is the cheapest thing the 
organisation is likely do, versus taking employees out for security training. 
or taking a few days out for external audit. But I know as a consultant in the 
space it can add up, although the standards are often bundled on relevant 
training courses.

I noticed also chatGPT has absorbed a thousand copies, and audits, and the 
like, so you can ask it to magic up documents for internal audits, of course 
you then need to check what it has done is reasonable and complete, but that 
is pretty easy if you have a copy of the standards.
