Introduction

In an increasingly digitised and interconnected environment, organisations face constant cybersecurity threats, data breaches, and regulatory scrutiny. Effective protection of information assets requires more than technical tools; it demands a structured, auditable, and continuously improving management system. ISO 27001 provides a globally recognised framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection across the organisation.

The ISO 27001 training course delivers a clear and practical understanding of ISO 27001 requirements and ISO 27002 controls, mapped directly to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0). Participants gain insight into how process-based security management systems support governance, risk management, and compliance while enhancing trust with customers, regulators, and stakeholders. By linking standards, controls, and frameworks, this course enables organisations to adopt a disciplined and resilient approach to information security management.
