ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer is a comprehensive course designed to provide participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to implement and manage an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard. With a strong focus on real-world application and best practices, this course helps organisations build robust and compliant security structures.
This course covers the fundamentals of information security governance and dives into the planning, implementation, and continual improvement of an ISMS. Participants learn how to interpret requirements, select appropriate controls and integrate security processes into everyday operations. Throughout the course, real-life examples, case studies and interactive sessions are used to reinforce key learnings and prepare delegates for practical implementation and certification.
Course objectivesUpon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
PrerequisitesParticipants should have a basic understanding of information security concepts and the structure of ISO/IEC 27001. Prior completion of the ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation course is recommended, but not mandatory.
Target audienceThis course is intended for managers, security professionals, consultants and team members who are responsible for implementing or managing an ISMS, or for those who wish to deepen their understanding of structured information security governance.
The course starts with an overview of ISO/IEC 27001, its structure, terminology and its role in information security governance. Participants gain insight into how the standard supports risk-based decision-making and organisational alignment, laying the foundation for effective implementation.
This section focuses on how to plan the implementation of an ISMS, including analysis of organisational context, understanding business needs and defining the scope and objectives of information security activities. Techniques for identifying assets and determining risk criteria are also introduced.
Participants learn how to select, design and apply security controls in line with identified risks. Documentation supporting implementation, including policies, procedures and records, are discussed as tools for sustaining compliance and performance.
This part of the course explores how to measure the effectiveness of security measures, conduct internal reviews, and support continual improvement of the ISMS. Practical examples and group exercises help participants apply evaluation techniques in organisational contexts.
The final segment facilitates preparation for the ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer certification exam. Participants review key concepts, exam structure and strategies for success.
