About This Course
The ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer programme gives you the practical skills to establish, run and continually improve an information security management system (ISMS). Delivered fully self-paced and online, it walks you through a complete implementation — from securing management buy-in and defining scope, to risk assessment, control selection and preparing for certification.
Where the Lead Auditor programme teaches you to assess an ISMS, this one teaches you to build one. You’ll apply a proven, best-practice implementation approach and learn to align people, process and technology so your organisation can achieve — and keep — ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
