Why an ISO 27001 Foundation course?

Every organisation faces more and more challenges with regards to their information security. Managing and improving security can be complicated, which is why many turn to standards to implement and audit their information security measures.

ISO 27001 is the world’s most widely recognised and adopted standard for information security. However, it can be complex to implement without proper guidance.

This two-day course is tailored to professionals collaborating, assessing, and controlling Security Programs. It goes beyond providing foundational knowledge and offers a comprehensive toolkit to improve your understanding of risk management from a security perspective.

ISO 27001 Foundation Course contents.

For the contents of this course, we base ourselves on the structure developed by PECB. Complemented with the personal experiences of our trainers, this course will deliver you with the necessary knowledge and insights.

On the first day, we do an introduction on Information Security Management Systems and the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard specifically.

  • Objectives and structure: explaining the objectives of the training and the structure you can expect.
  • Standards & Regulatory Frameworks: what is a standard and which exist.
  • Information Security Management System: the context of an ISMS and the role it plays.
  • Concepts & principles: the different fundamental security concepts and principles explained.
  • Organisation & context: the quintessential element of understanding an organisation and its context in order to adequately implement an ISMS.
  • Leadership: in every ISMS, the leadership has a role to play.

In the second part, we will discuss more in detail how an ISMS should look according to the ISO/IEC 27001 Standard.

  • Planning: what kind of planning goes into the deployment of an ISMS.
  • Support: what support is necessary from who.
  • Operation: how does one run an ISMS operationally.
  • Performance evaluation: to keep improving, continuous evaluation is necessary.
  • Improvement: how should these improvements be implemented.
  • Controls: as every standard, the ISO/IEC 27001 comes with a bunch of controls. How should they be used and integrated.

The third part is all about consolidating the course and discussing the exam.

  • Consolidation: A fundamental standard that can be used for absolutely everything, discussing the concept of an ISMS and going through Annex A.

The exam has to be done independently through PECB to obtain the certificate. Succeeding would make you a certified ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation professional by PECB.
