Introduction to ISO/IEC 27001:2005 Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)

Overview

This interactive and practical foundation course is designed to provide an introduction to information security management (ISM) systems as set out in ISO/IEC 27001. Information security covers many issues, from copyright to internet security, and the proprietary information that an organization has is now recognised as one of its main assets. Ensuring the security of this information is thus a primary responsibility of senior executives in preserving the value of the organization.

Course Objectives

Our course will acquaint delegates with the requirements and principles of ISO/IEC 27001, providing delegates with an awareness of the issues and challenges involved in relation to implementing an information security management system.

Key Skills / Learning Objectives

Through the combination of interactive tutorials and workshops, our course will enable the delegates to:

• Interpret the basic requirements and principles of ISO/IEC 27001 and how they apply in practice.
• Undertake a survey of their own organisation and determine any weaknesses that need to be addressed.
• Have an appreciation of the technical challenges likely to be encountered in implementing ISM systems.

Practical workshops are designed to reinforce the discussions and topics. This style of delivery makes the course both memorable and enjoyable for participants, ensuring long-term learning.
