Who Should Take This Course

This course is for people who need to understand the information-security system around their work without training for a specialist auditor or implementer role. It is particularly useful for:

  • People joining an ISO 27001-certified organization who need a clear picture of the ISMS and their place within it
  • Managers and employees across IT, HR, operations, legal, procurement, physical security, and sales whose decisions can affect information security
  • Executives, students, consultants, and prospective specialists who want to understand security risk, controls, certification, and the business value of an ISMS

No prior knowledge of information security management systems is required.

Note:  If you need to conduct internal audits, the ISO 27001 Auditor Training is the appropriate next step. For those leading implementation projects, consider the ISO 27001 Implementer Training.
