THE BIG PICTURE

About this course

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an Information Security Management System. APMG International awards related certifications at Foundation, Practitioner and Auditor levels for professionals working with ISMS programmes. Across three days you examine clauses 4–10 and the Annex A control set from the 2022 edition, using a realistic case study. You will draft an ISMS scope and context analysis, define risk criteria, create a risk register, build a Statement of Applicability, develop control implementation plans, and plan and conduct parts of an internal audit with findings and corrective actions. You can choose to sit the APMG International ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation, Practitioner or Auditor exams. Exams are booked directly with APMG International or an Accredited Training Organisation. The exact format, duration, pass mark and booking options are published by APMG International; guidance on routes and scheduling is provided during the course. APMG International owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
