Course Objectives

Our course will equip delegates with the competency to assess an organisation's ability to manage risk and provide essential ISM system controls.

• Apply the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 to the specific needs of their company.
• Plan and prepare for an internal audit with an understanding of auditing procedures and documentation.
• Conduct an effective ISM system audit against ISO/IEC 27001 and evaluate the significance of audit findings.

Practical workshops are designed to reinforce the discussions and topics, building on skills of audit planning and structure, nonconformity writing, conducting audit interviews, evaluating findings and reporting results back to Senior Management.
