ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer

Real-world use case

To help an organization work toward ISO 27001 certification, I completed this Global Knowledge course to master the implementation of a compliant ISMS.

The "ISO 27001 Lead Implementer" training path is designed for security managers, consultants, and project managers who want to acquire the skills needed to implement an Information Security Management System (ISMS) compliant with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard. This course covers the entire lifecycle of an ISMS, from design to certification.

The course catalog covers in particular the following modules:

• Understanding the principles and requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard
• Initiating and planning the implementation of an ISMS
• Identifying and assessing information security risks
• Defining and applying an appropriate security policy
• Selecting and implementing security controls (Annex A)
• Managing security incidents and business continuity
• Raising awareness and training staff on security issues
• Conducting internal audits and driving continuous improvement
• Preparing for and supporting a certification process

The training takes about 5 days.
You should then allow around 3h00 for the certification exam itself: ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer (PECB).

Conclusion

This Global Knowledge course covers the entire lifecycle of an Information Security Management System compliant with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, from design to certification. It provides a complete methodology for identifying risks, defining a security policy, and driving the continuous improvement of an ISMS. A structuring certification for any security manager or consultant supporting this kind of initiative.
