With the growth and global acceptance of ISO/IEC 27001:2013 as the default standard for information security management, there has been an increased demand for qualified ISO27001 lead auditors.
Gaining the knowledge and qualifications required to conduct an ISO27001 audit is essential for the successful career development of all ISO27001 lead auditors.
A practical working knowledge of the lead audit process is also a crucial requirement for the manager responsible for implementing and maintaining ISO27001 compliance within an organisation.
This course provides it all!
Demand for Information Security Management experts is rapidly increasing with new legislation and the ever growing threat of cyber criminals.
ISO 27001 is an internationally acclaimed framework for Information Security Management. Implementing this management system helps organisations to align with GDPR requirements, provides employee and customer security and demonstrates credibility. Consequently ISO 27001 has become the most popular information security standard worldwide and many companies have certified against it.
The focus of ISO 27001 is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information in an organisation. This is achieved by establishing what potential problems could happen to the information through risk assessment, and then defining what needs to be done to prevent issues occurring – risk mitigation. The fundamental philosophy of ISO 27001 is therefore based on risk management – finding out where the risks are, and then systematically treating them.
Through a combination of tutorials, syndicate exercises and role play, this course will teach you everything you need to know about how an Information Security Management System audit should be run including conducting second and third-party audits.
To become certified you will need to:
1) Watch complete videos of all lectures, and answer all practice exams.
2) Attend the workshop.
3) Pass the online exam.
The course will cover not only the accepted principles of auditing, but will give participants a detailed understanding of audit methodology, including audit preparation, managing an audit team, determining compliance with the standard, interview techniques, following audit trails and documenting evidence.
Delegates will participate in workshops and case studies to develop their auditing techniques, and will learn how to handle some of the more challenging situations an auditor may face. The course has been designed in keeping with international standards on auditing techniques, including ISO 19011.
The course will also familiarise participants with the challenges of auditing ISO27001 and will cover all sections of the standard in detail, providing tips on how to audit individual clauses, including risk assessments, business continuity, and effective continual improvement.
The course will make extensive use of group exercises and case studies throughout, providing attendees with a proper foundation in the practical aspects of auditing conformance with ISO 27001.
There are 13 online course modules. Each module has a series of interactive video lessons with quiz activities and supplementary information.
