A 5-day course to plan an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 ISMS, assess risk, select controls, gather evidence, run internal audits and drive improvement.
THE BIG PICTURE
About this course
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems, published by ISO and IEC. Individual certifications aligned to the standard are issued by independent certification bodies, not by ISO itself. Over five days you work through ISMS context and scope, risk assessment and treatment, Annex A control themes, documentation, competence, supplier controls, performance evaluation, internal audits, management review and improvement. You will complete hands‑on tasks such as building a risk register, drafting a Statement of Applicability, preparing audit evidence, and practising audit techniques. Exam routes vary by certification body (for example foundation, implementer or auditor tracks). Candidates book with their chosen body or its partners, and formats, rules and renewal periods differ by provider. This course includes guidance on selecting and scheduling an exam but does not include an exam voucher. The awarding body owns the certification scheme. MindClick provides training and exam preparation and is not an accredited or authorised partner.
