Description

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's most popular standard for information security management. Certification to this standard is highly sought after, as it demonstrates an organization's ability to safeguard information with robust security controls — ensuring trust and reliability.

Global leaders like Google, Apple, Adobe and Oracle — along with financial institutions, healthcare providers, insurance companies, educational institutions, manufacturers, service companies, government agencies, and businesses of all sizes — have implemented and certified information security management systems (ISMS) according to ISO/IEC 27001, showcasing their commitment to protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information they handle.

Course overview

This course covers the management system requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 along with the information security controls of Annex A — a comprehensive guide to implementing an ISMS, meeting the requirements and achieving compliance. The course is structured into six sections:

Introduction — the concept of information security, what an ISMS is, the purpose and structure of ISO/IEC 27001, and the other standards of the ISO/IEC 27000 family relevant to an information security professional
The management system requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 — following the structure of the standard, covering all requirements in each clause and sub-clause: the context of the organization, the scope of the ISMS, information security risk assessment and risk treatment, the information security policy and objectives, ISMS documentation, internal audits, the management review, and the management of nonconformities
The 93 Annex A controls, across four sections — the information security controls of ISO/IEC 27001, divided into 4 themes: organizational controls, people controls, physical controls and technological controls. Among the subjects covered: incident management, supplier relationships, network security, business continuity and ICT readiness, equipment maintenance, storage media, secure development and secure coding, cryptography, authentication information, screening of candidates, the disciplinary process, change management, backup and redundancy, malware protection, technical vulnerability management, logging and monitoring, security awareness and training, user end-point devices, capacity management, access privileges, protection against environmental threats, and cabling security

A dedicated video at the end of the course covers certification to ISO/IEC 27001 — for organizations and for individuals.

The course is updated to account for the 2024 Amendment to ISO/IEC 27001 on climate change.
