The Certified ISO 27001 Lead Implementer course is a five-day information packed learning experience, based on the new 2022 version of the standard. It is designed to develop a level of competence to support the design, development, roll-out and maintenance of an organizational Information Security Management System. During this course, student will participate in a series of practical exercises leading to a capstone practical exam in the form of a group presentation to a panel of distinguished business and technology executives.

To develop a well-rounded understanding of the standard’s expectations, we will be drawing upon best practices from ISO 27001, 27002, 27003, 27004, 27005, 27017, 27034, 27035, 55000 among others. This approach enables students to understand the expectations to meet the design, development, roll-out and maintenance of an ISO 27001-based information security management system.
